Short Name | Ubinuclein-1 |
description | Ubinuclein-1 (UBN1) is part of the histone chaperone complex HIRA/UBN1/CABIN1/ASF1a that preferentially deposits the histone variant H3.3 into chromatin and is implicated in diverse chromatin regulatory events from gene activation to heterochromatinisation [, ].Ubinuclein-1 interacts with HIRA and is involved in the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF). SAHF are domains of specialised chromatin found in senescent cells that repress expression of proliferation-promoting genes []. |
