== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ASF1_YEAST ASF1_YEAST] Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Facilitates histone deposition through both replication-dependent and replication-independent chromatin assembly pathways. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with the HIR complex to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly, which may occur during transcription and DNA repair. May be required for the maintenance of a subset of replication elongation factors, including DNA polymerase epsilon, the RFC complex and PCNA, at stalled replication forks. Also required for acetylation of histone H3 on 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-56'.<ref>PMID:9290207</ref> <ref>PMID:10591219</ref> <ref>PMID:11412995</ref> <ref>PMID:11331602</ref> <ref>PMID:11731479</ref> <ref>PMID:11731480</ref> <ref>PMID:11404324</ref> <ref>PMID:11172707</ref> <ref>PMID:11856374</ref> <ref>PMID:11756556</ref> <ref>PMID:12093919</ref> <ref>PMID:14585955</ref> <ref>PMID:15071494</ref> <ref>PMID:15452122</ref> <ref>PMID:15175160</ref> <ref>PMID:15542829</ref> <ref>PMID:15542840</ref> <ref>PMID:15766286</ref> <ref>PMID:16303565</ref> <ref>PMID:15821127</ref> <ref>PMID:15901673</ref> <ref>PMID:16020781</ref> <ref>PMID:16143623</ref> <ref>PMID:16039596</ref> <ref>PMID:15632066</ref> <ref>PMID:15891116</ref> <ref>PMID:16141196</ref> <ref>PMID:15840725</ref> <ref>PMID:16815704</ref> <ref>PMID:16936140</ref> <ref>PMID:16582440</ref> <ref>PMID:16407267</ref> <ref>PMID:17046836</ref> <ref>PMID:16678113</ref> <ref>PMID:16501045</ref> <ref>PMID:16627621</ref> <ref>PMID:17107956</ref> <ref>PMID:17320445</ref> <ref>PMID:14680630</ref> [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H3_YEAST H3_YEAST]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
BACKGROUND: The histone H3/H4 chaperone Asf1 (anti-silencing function 1) is required for the establishment and maintenance of proper chromatin structure, as well as for genome stability in eukaryotes. Asf1 participates in both DNA replication-coupled (RC) and replication-independent (RI) histone deposition reactions in vitro and interacts with complexes responsible for both pathways in vivo. Asf1 is known to directly bind histone H3, however, high-resolution structural information about the geometry of this interaction was previously unknown. RESULTS: Here we report the structure of a histone/histone chaperone interaction. We have solved the 2.2 A crystal structure of the conserved N-terminal immunoglobulin fold domain of yeast Asf1 (residues 2-155) bound to the C-terminal helix of yeast histone H3 (residues 121-134). The structure defines a histone-binding patch on Asf1 consisting of both conserved and yeast-specific residues; mutation of these residues abrogates H3/H4 binding affinity. The geometry of the interaction indicates that Asf1 binds to histones H3/H4 in a manner that likely blocks sterically the H3/H3 interface of the nucleosomal four-helix bundle. CONCLUSION: These data clarify how Asf1 regulates histone stoichiometry to modulate epigenetic inheritance. The structure further suggests a physical model in which Asf1 contributes to interpretation of a "histone H3 barcode" for sorting H3 isoforms into different deposition pathways.
