sce:CAC2

Genes: 34

SGD Description
Subunit of chromatin assembly factor I (CAF-1), with Rlf2p and Msi1p; chromatin assembly by CAF-1 is important for multiple processes including silencing at telomeres, mating type loci, and rDNA; maintenance of kinetochore structure, deactivation of the DNA damage checkpoint after DNA repair, chromatin dynamics during transcription; and repression of divergent transcription; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia


PomBase Description
CAF assembly factor (CAF-1) complex subunit B, Pcf2


AspGD Description
Ortholog(s) have role in heterochromatin maintenance, homologous recombination-dependent replication fork processing, mitotic sister chromatid segregation, nucleosome assembly, regulation of phenotypic switching

sce:HIR1

Genes: 33

SGD Description
Subunit of the HIR complex; HIR is a nucleosome assembly complex involved in regulation of histone gene transcription; contributes to nucleosome formation, heterochromatic gene silencing, and formation of functional kinetochores


PomBase Description
hira protein, histone chaperone Hip1


AspGD Description
Ortholog(s) have role in cellular response to nitrogen starvation, chromatin silencing at centromere outer repeat region and chromatin silencing at silent mating-type cassette, more
