title: Primary structure of chicken erythrocyte histone H2A.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence (128 residues) of the chicken erythrocyte histone H2A was deduced from the data provided by structural studies on the tryptic peptides from the maleylated histone and of the peptides obtained by thermolysin digestion of the native protein. The sequence of chicken histone H2A differs from the calf homologous histone by the deletion of one residue of histidine at position 123 or 124 and three conservative substitutions: a residue of serine replaces a residue of threonine at position 16, a residue of aspartic acid replaces a residue of glutamic acid at position 121 and a residue of alanine replaces a residue of glycine at position 128.
