Supplementary information

ASF1b also known as Anti-Silencing Function 1B is a histone chaperone that weighs approximately 22 kDa. This protein is part of the histone fold family facilitating the transfer of histone H3/H4 dimers either into histone octamers or back to the nucleosome. ASF1b is expressed in various human tissues with significant expression in proliferating cells. Its unique ability to influence chromatin assembly positions it as an important player within cellular dynamics.
Biological function summary

The protein assists in the maintenance and regulation of chromatin structure impacting DNA replication and transcription. ASF1b interacts with histone H3/H4 complexes and often works in coordination with CAF-1 forming a multi-protein complex important for nucleosome assembly during DNA replication. Through these interactions ASF1b plays a role in both maintaining genomic stability and facilitating proper cell cycle progression.

Pathways

ASF1b contributes to the DNA replication and repair pathways required for accurate duplication of genetic material. In the DNA damage response ASF1b offers histone supply critical for chromatin structure restoration post-repair. It also interacts with proteins like ATR and CHK1 aiding in the checkpoint response to DNA damage to prevent genomic instability. However its precise regulation within these pathways can have significant cellular consequences related to genome integrity.

The aberrant expression of ASF1b has links to cancer progression most notably in breast and prostate cancers. Overexpression can drive unchecked cell proliferation correlating with aggressive cancer phenotypes. ASF1b's association with oncogenic pathways involves partner proteins such as p53 where ASF1b indirectly influences its tumor suppressor pathway through modulation of chromatin dynamics showcasing its fundamental role in both normal and pathological cell processes.

Target data

Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly (PubMed : 11897662, PubMed : 14718166, PubMed : 15664198, PubMed : 16151251, PubMed : 21454524, PubMed : 26527279). Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly (PubMed : 11897662, PubMed : 14718166, PubMed : 15664198, PubMed : 16151251). Also involved in the nuclear import of the histone H3-H4 dimer together with importin-4 (IPO4) : specifically recognizes and binds newly synthesized histones with the monomethylation of H3 'Lys-9' (H3K9me1) and diacetylation at 'Lys-5' and 'Lys-12' of H4 (H4K5K12ac) marks in the cytosol (PubMed : 20953179, PubMed : 21454524, PubMed : 26527279). Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA (PubMed : 11897662, PubMed : 14718166, PubMed : 15664198, PubMed : 16151251). Required for gonad development (PubMed : 12842904).
