      Activity summary

      HIRA also known as HIR or HIR/HIRA is a histone chaperone protein that plays an essential role in chromatin remodeling and nucleosome assembly. This protein has a mass of approximately 121 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with notable presence in the liver heart and skeletal muscle. The HIRA protein interacts with other proteins to regulate the deposition of histone H3.3 which is important for processes like DNA replication and repair.

      Biological function summary

      HIRA participates in the formation of a complex known as the HIRA-ASF1A-CABIN1 protein complex. This complex operates in chromatin assembly and modulates the incorporation of histone variant H3.3 affecting gene silencing and transcription regulation. Interacting with histone proteins HIRA serves an important function in genome stability and epigenetic mark establishment.

      Pathways

      HIRA influences the histone replacement pathway significantly impacting gene expression and chromatin organization. HIRA works closely with ASF1A and CABIN1 proteins within this pathway. Additionally in the senescence-associated secretory phenotype pathway HIRA contributes to cellular aging processes by regulating transcriptional outcomes. The modulation of these pathways by HIRA exemplifies its key role in maintaining cellular functions.

      Associated diseases and disorders

      Defects in HIRA associate with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and some cancer types such as breast cancer. HIRA alterations can disrupt chromatin dynamics potentially linking it with poor prognostic factors in these diseases. In particular the HIRA gene can interact with other genes involved in cardiomyopathies like MYH7 affecting heart muscle function. Through its role in chromatin remodeling HIRA connects to various pathologies where gene regulation and DNA damage responses are compromised.

        ab216718 staining HIRA/HIR in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab216718 at 1/50 dilution (pseudocolored in red) and Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
