RT106_YEAST Histones H3 and H4 chaperone involved in the nucleosome formation and heterochromatin silencing. Required for the deposition of H3K56ac-carrying H3-H4 complex onto newly-replicated DNA. Plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of the cell-cycle dependent histone genes by directly recruiting the SWI/SNF and RSC chromatin remodeling complexes to the histone genes in a cell cycle dependent manner. In cooperation with HIR and ASF1, creates a repressive structure at the core histone gene promoter and contributes to their repression outside of S phase. Involved in regulation of Ty1 transposition.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Rtt106p is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae histone chaperone with roles in heterochromatin silencing and nucleosome assembly. The molecular mechanism by which Rtt106p engages in chromatin dynamics remains unclear. Here, we report the 2.5 A crystal structure of the core domain of Rtt106p, which adopts an unusual "double pleckstrin homology" domain architecture that represents a novel structural mode for histone chaperones. A histone H3-H4-binding region and a novel double-stranded DNA-binding region have been identified. Mutagenesis studies reveal that the histone and DNA binding activities of Rtt106p are involved in Sir protein-mediated heterochromatin formation. Our results uncover the structural basis of the diverse functions of Rtt106p and provide new insights into its cellular roles.
Structural analysis of Rtt106p reveals a DNA binding role required for heterochromatin silencing.,Liu Y, Huang H, Zhou BO, Wang SS, Hu Y, Li X, Liu J, Zang J, Niu L, Wu J, Zhou JQ, Teng M, Shi Y J Biol Chem. 2010 Feb 5;285(6):4251-62. Epub 2009 Dec 10. PMID:20007951[13]
