DESCRIPTION

Also known as ASF1A_HUMAN, ASF1A. 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. Interacts with histone H3 (including both histone H3.1 and H3.3) and histone H4 (PubMed:10759893, PubMed:12842904, PubMed:14718166, PubMed:15664198, PubMed:33857403, PubMed:15840725). Interacts with the CHAF1A, CHAF1B and RBBP4 subunits of the CAF-1 complex. Interacts with CABIN1, HAT1, HIRA, NASP, TAF1, TLK1, TLK2 and UBN1. Interacts with CDAN1. Found in a cytosolic complex with CDAN1, ASF1B, IPO4 and histones H3.1 and H4. Interacts with CREBBP.
