#Id: 402
Centromeric H3 (or CenH3) histone, known as Cse4 in yeast. CenH3 histones are incorporated into specialized nucleosomes present at centromeres.
#Id: 403
CenH3 has a unique N terminus, which does not resemble other core histones.
#Id: 404
Most H2A variants contain alternative C-termini, except H2ABbd, which contains a distinct N terminus.

SpH2B has a long N-terminus and functions in Chromatin packaging
