Function
ASF1A_HUMAN 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.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
In the search for foldamer inhibitors of the histone chaperone ASF1, we explored the possibility of substituting four alpha-residues ( approximately one helix turn) by 3-urea segments and scanned the sequence of a short alpha-helical peptide known to bind ASF1. By analysing the impact of the different foldamer replacements within the peptide chain, we uncovered new binding modes of the peptide-urea chimeras to ASF1.
Unexpected binding modes of inhibitors to the histone chaperone ASF1 revealed by a foldamer scanning approach.,Perrin ME, Li B, Mbianda J, Bakail M, Andre C, Moal G, Legrand P, Ropars V, Douat C, Ochsenbein F, Guichard G Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jun 22. doi: 10.1039/d3cc01891a. PMID:37347155[8]
