Histone H2A variants alpha1-extension helix directs RNF168-mediated ubiquitination

Histone ubiquitination plays a critical role in the DNA damage response pathway. Here the authors reveal how RNF168 ubiquitinates the H2A family including noncanonical variants, H2AZ and macroH2A1/2, at the divergent N-terminal tail lysine residue.
