Function
NRP1_ARATH Acts as histone H2A/H2B chaperone in nucleosome assembly, playing a critical role for the correct expression of genes involved in root proliferation and patterning. Required with NRP2 for the maintenance of cell proliferation and differentiation in postembryonic root growth. Involved in both intramolecular and intermolecular somatic homologous recombination.[1] [2] [3]
