DNA Repair Factor APLF Is a Histone Chaperone [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2011 Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation plays a major role in DNA repair, where it regulates chromatin relaxation as one of the critical events in the repair process. However, the molecular mechanism by which poly(ADP-ribose) modulates chromatin remains poorly understood.

The histone chaperone FACT modulates nucleosome structure by tethering its components
Life Science Alliance, 2018 The histone chaperone FACT functions by tethering partial components of the nucleosome, thereby assisting nucleosome disassembly and reassembly during transcription.

Structural basis underlying viral hijacking of a histone chaperone complex
Nature Communications, 2016 The Epstein-Barr virus tegument protein BNRF1 is required for the establishment of selective viral gene expression during latency and interacts with the histone chaperone DAXX.

Cell Fate Decisions in the Wake of Histone H3 Deposition
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 An expanding repertoire of histone variants and specialized histone chaperone partners showcases the versatility of nucleosome assembly during different cellular processes. Recent research has suggested an integral role of nucleosome assembly pathways in

Histone chaperones link histone nuclear import and chromatin assembly [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms, 2012 Histone chaperones are proteins that shield histones from nonspecific interactions until they are assembled into chromatin. After their synthesis in the cytoplasm, histones are bound by different histone chaperones, subjected to a series of posttranslational modifications and imported into the nucleus.

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2021 Histone chaperones facilitate DNA replication and repair by promoting chromatin assembly, disassembly and histone exchange. Following histones synthesis and nucleosome assembly, the histones undergo posttranslational modification by different enzymes and

A Role for FACT in RNA Polymerase II Promoter-Proximal Pausing
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) is an evolutionarily conserved histone chaperone that was initially identified as an activity capable of promoting RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription through nucleosomes in vitro.

HIRA stabilizes skeletal muscle lineage identity
Nature Communications, 2021 The epigenetic mechanisms coordinating the maintenance of adult cellular lineages remain poorly understood. Here the authors demonstrate that HIRA, a H3.3 histone chaperone, establishes the chromatin landscape required for skeletal muscle cell identity.
