Protein Group Nucleosome/chromatin assembly complex proteins (Cac2 homologs)
Description Putative homolog of human CAF1 subunit B or yeast CAC2, the p60 subunit s of human and yeast chromatin assembly factor I , respectively. Human CAF1 is composed of three subunits that are 150 kd, 60 kd and 48 kd in size. The smallest subunit dissociates during G1 phase of the cell cycle. CAF1 is thought to deposit histones H3 and H4 onto newly replicated DNA such that histone H2A and H2B can then bind to form nucleosome core particles.
