Background / Function
Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with HIRA to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly. Required for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) and efficient senescence-associated cell cycle exit.Munakata T., Genes Cells 5:221-233(2000).Sillje H.H.W., Curr. Biol. 11:1068-1073(2001).Lai C.-H., Genome Res. 10:703-713(2000).
