Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Htz1p
Description	Histone variant H2AZ; exchanged for histone H2A in nucleosomes by the SWR1 complex; involved in transcriptional regulation through prevention of the spread of silent heterochromatin; Htz1p-containing nucleosomes facilitate RNA Pol II passage by affecting correct assembly and modification status of RNA Pol II elongation complexes and by favoring efficient nucleosome remodeling
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 5: chromatin remodeling level 5: heterochromatin formation level 7: silent mating-type cassette heterochromatin formation level 8: transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II level 9: nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, non-stop decay level 9: regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II
GO Terms: Molecular Function	level 2: chromatin binding level 2: structural constituent of chromatin level 3: DNA binding level 4: protein heterodimerization activity
GO Terms: Cellular Component	level 2: chromatin level 3: nucleosome level 3: euchromatin level 4: nucleus level 4: chromosome
