Histone H4, one of the four histones, along with H2A, H2B and H3, which forms the eukaryotic nucleosome core; along with H3, it plays a central role in nucleosome formation; histones bind to DNA and wrap the genetic material into "beads on a string" in which DNA (the string) is wrapped around small blobs of histones (the beads) at regular intervals; play a role in the inheritance of specialized chromosome structures and the control of gene activity; defects in the establishment of proper chromosome structure by histones may activate or silence genes aberrantly and thus lead to disease; the sequence of histone H4 has remained almost invariant in more than 2 billion years of evolution
