Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human ASF1B
Application
Anti-ASF1B antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
ASF1B [anti-silencing function 1 homolog B (S. cerevisiae)] gene encodes for a protein that belongs to H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and facilitates the histone deposition as well as histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. ASF1B interacts with HCF-1 and regulates the progression of cellular DNA replication forks through chromatin reorganization. It also stimulates the viral DNA replication by combining Asf1b to DNA replication components. Additionally, depletion of both the histone chaperones ASF1a and ASF1b in human cells induces hallmark of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) in primary as well as cancer cells.

The cellular transcriptional coactivator HCF-1 interacts with numerous transcription factors as well as other coactivators and is a component of multiple chromatin modulation complexes. The protein is essential for the expression of the immediate early genes of both herpes simplex

Histone chaperones have been implicated in nucleosome assembly and disassembly as well as histone modification. ASF1 is a highly conserved histone H3/H4 chaperone that synergizes in vitro with two other histone chaperones, chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) and histone repression
The mechanism of activation of the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway of mammalian chromosome-end maintenance has been unclear. We have now discovered that co-depletion of the histone chaperones ASF1a and ASF1b in human cells induced all hallmarks of ALT
