Gene nameASF1B
Protein nameAnti-silencing function 1B histone chaperone
Histone chaperone ASF1B (Anti-silencing function protein 1 homolog B) (hAsf1) (hAsf1b) (CCG1-interacting factor A-II) (CIA-II) (hCIA-II)
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: 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 . Also involved in the nuclear import of the histone H3-H4 dimer together with importin-4 (IPO4): specifically recognizes and binds newly synthesized histones with the monomethylation of H3 'Lys-9' (H3K9me1) and diacetylation at 'Lys-5' and 'Lys-12' of H4 (H4K5K12ac) marks in the cytosol . Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA . Required for gonad development . .
