his-11 encodes an H2B histone; by homology, HIS-11 is predicted to function as a nucleosome component required for packaging of DNA into chromatin; his-11 is a replication-dependent histone locus that resides in the HIS3 cluster on chromosome II.
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Involved in innate immune response. Part of chromatin. Is an ortholog of several human genes including H2BC12 (H2B clustered histone 12); H2BC17 (H2B clustered histone 17); and H2BC3 (H2B clustered histone 3).
Can't be part of clone F17E9 and subsequence F17E9.9 on IV AND part of HIS3_cluster on II. removing the chromosome IV links. [sdm 000920]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
