Summary

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the small histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3.

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the H3C10 gene exhibited a significant increase in expression (3.18 log2 fold) in peripheral whole blood from juvenile animals following controlled cortical impact traumatic brain injury compared to sham controls [Hazy et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-019-45089-z]. This finding was part of a broader transcriptomic analysis revealing a distinct, age-dependent peripheral immune response to brain trauma. A study in mice demonstrated that the H3C10 transcript, a core histone gene, increased in abundance within 0.5 hours postmortem [Pozhitkov et al. DOI:10.1098/rsob.160267].
