CenH3 has a unique N terminus, which does not resemble other core histones.

Most H2A variants contain alternative C-termini, except H2ABbd, which contains a distinct N terminus.
#Id: 405
SpH2B has a long N-terminus and functions in Chromatin packaging

In yeast, centromeric nucleosomes consist of Cse4, H4, and a nonhistone protein Scm3, in place of H2A-H2B dimers.

In Drosophila, the centromeric chromatin appears to consist of “hemisomes” containing one copy each of CenH3, H4, H2A, and H2B.

Histone H3.1 is replicative histone.
