The authors show that yeast chromatin assembly factor 1 binding to a histone H3-H4 dimer activates the Cac1 winged helix domain interaction with DNA. This drives the formation of a transient intermediate containing two chromatin assembly factor 1 complexes, each associated with one H3-H4 dimer. Here, the (H3-H4)2 tetramer is formed and deposited onto DNA.

Here, the authors report that yeast chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF1), a conserved histone chaperone complex that deposits H3-H4 during DNA replication, binds a single H3-H4 heterodimer in solution.

Preferred Names: histone H3

NP_014367.1

Histone H3; core histone protein required for chromatin assembly, part of heterochromatin-mediated telomeric and HM silencing; one of two identical histone H3 proteins (see HHT1); regulated by acetylation, methylation, and phosphorylation; H3K14 acetylation plays an important role in the unfolding of strongly positioned nucleosomes during repair of UV damage
