Abstract In eukaryotes, histone paralogues form obligate heterodimers such as H3/H4 and H2A/H2B that assemble into octameric nucleosome particles. Archaeal histones are dimeric on DNA ‘hypernucleosome’ particles of varying sizes with each dimer wrapping 30 bp DNA. These composed canonical variant paralogues, but the function these variants is poorly understood. Here, we characterise structure paralogue MJ1647 from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii has a unique C-terminal extension enabling...
