Background InformationASF1a (anti-silencing function 1a) is a histone H3/H4 chaperone and chromatin regulator. This protein facilitates histone placement and histone removal and exchange during nucleosome assembly/disassembly and is essential for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHF). ASF1a interacts with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with HIRA inside PML bodies of cells approaching senescence after p53/p21 activation.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and is similar to the anti-silencing function-1 gene in yeast. The protein is a key component of a histone donor complex that functions in nucleosome assembly. It interacts with histones H3 and H4, and functions together with a chromatin assembly factor during DNA replication and repair. [provided by RefSeq].

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: 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. SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with histone H3 (including both histone H3.1 and H3.3) and histone H4. Interacts with the CHAF1A, CHAF1B and RBBP4 subunits of the CAF-1 complex. Interacts with CABIN1, HAT1, HIRA, NASP, TAF1, TLK1, TLK2 and UBN1.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus

TISSUE SPECIFICTY: Ubiquitously expressed.

PTM: Phosphorylated by TLK1 and TLK2. Highly phosphorylated in S-phase and at lower levels in M-phase.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the ASF1 family.
