Also known as FLJ10604
Summary
ASF1B (anti-silencing function 1B histone chaperone, HGNC:20996) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.12, encoding Histone chaperone ASF1B (Q9NVP2). Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly.
This gene encodes a member of the H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and is similar to the anti-silencing function-1 gene in yeast. The encoded protein is the substrate of the tousled-like kinase family of cell cycle-regulated kinases, and may play a key role in modulating the nucleosome structure of chromatin by ensuring a constant supply of histones at sites of nucleosome assembly.

Function. Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly. 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. Does not participate in replication-independent nucleosome deposition which is mediated by ASF1A and HIRA. Required for gonad development.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with histone H3 (via C-terminus), including histone H3.1, H3.2 and H3.3, and histone H4; the interaction with H3 is direct. Interacts with the CHAF1A, CHAF1B and RBBP4 subunits of the CAF-1 complex. Interacts with HAT1, NASP and TAF1. Found in a soluble complex with NASP and histones H3 and H4; the interaction with NASP is probably indirect and mediated by H3-H4. Interacts with CDAN1. Found in a cytosolic complex with IPO4 and histones H3 and H4. Interacts with CREBBP.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in testis and at lower levels in colon, small intestine and thymus.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by TLK1 and TLK2.
Similarity. Belongs to the ASF1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 62 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
