  • N terminal PEST domain
    • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Chaf1a
    Homologene
    FAMILY
    CATEGORY regulatory , DNA associated
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an essential role in eukaryotic chromatin assembly during DNA replication
  • required for efficient S-phase progression in cells, and for coupling chromatin assembly with DNA replication
  • major regulator of chromatin assembly during DNA repair
  • key factor involved in histone deposition
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, replication
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • part of the chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1) complex
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • histone H3 and H4
  • with the replication kinase CDC7-DBF4
  • ASF1A is a highly conserved histone H3/H4 chaperone that synergizes with two other histone chaperones, CHAF1A and HIRA, in DNA synthesis-coupled and DNA synthesis-independent nucleosome assembly
  • ANGEL1 has been shown to interact with CHAF1A, which has deadenylase activity, suggesting that ANGEL1 may recruit CHAF1A in EIF4E complexes
