Top Down analysis revealed that at least fourteen genes encoding histone H2A are coexpressed in HeLa cells. Characterization of these species' revealed that all except H2A.Z and H2A.F/Z were alpha-N-acetylated, H2A.O and H2A.C,D,I,N,P were the most abundant, and those exceeding similar to 10% abundance lacked post-translational modifications. This unequivocal identification of H2A forms illustrates the advantages of Top Down Mass Spectrometry and provides a global perspective of H2A regulation through the cell cycle.
