Recombinant Human Histone Chaperone ASF1A/ASF1A (C-6His, N-T7 tag)

Source: E.coli. MW :25.4kD. Recombinant Human Histone Chaperone ASF1A is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Met204 is expressed with a T7 tag at the N-terminus, 6His tag at the C-terminus. Human Histone Chaperone ASF1A (ASF1A) belongs to the H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins. ASF1A is ubiquitously expressed in many cells and tissues, interacting with histones H3 and H4. ASF1A cooperates with Chromatin Assembly Factor 1 to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with HIRA to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly. In addition, ASF1A is necessary for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) and efficient senescence-associated cell cycle exit. Protein function: 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
