Comments:
-!- FUNCTION: Core histone-binding subunit that may target chromatin
assembly factors, chromatin remodeling factors and histone
deacetylases to their histone substrates in a manner that is
regulated by nucleosomal DNA. Component of several complexes which
regulate chromatin metabolism. These include the chromatin
assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) complex, which is required for chromatin
assembly following DNA replication and DNA repair; the nucleosome
remodeling and deacetylase complex (the NuRD complex), which
promotes transcriptional repression by histone deacetylation and
nucleosome remodeling; the nucleosome remodeling factor complex
(the NURF complex), which facilitates the perturbation of
chromatin structure in an ATP-dependent manner; and the polycomb
group (PcG) repressor complex ESC-E(Z), which promotes repression
of homeotic genes during development. Also required for
transcriptional repression of E2F target genes by E2f2 and Rbf or
Rbf2.
-!- SUBUNIT: Probably binds directly to helix 1 of the histone fold of
histone H4, a region that is not accessible when H4 is in
chromatin. Self associates. Associates with chromatin. Component
of the CAF-1 complex, composed of Caf1, Caf1-105 and Caf1-180.
Within the CAF-1 complex, Caf1-180 interacts directly with both
Caf1 and Caf1-105. Component of the NuRD complex, composed of at
least Caf1, Mi-2, MTA1-like and Rpd3. Within the NuRD complex,
Caf1 may interact directly with Mi-2, MTA1-like and Rpd3. The NuRD
complex may also associate with the methyl-DNA binding protein
MBD-like via Caf1 and Mi-2. Component of the NURF complex,
composed of Caf1, E(bx), Nurf-38 and Iswi. Component of the
Esc/E(z) complex, composed of Caf1, esc, E(z), Su(z)1, and
possibly Pho1. The Esc/E(z) complex may also associate with Pcl
and Rpd3 during early embryogenesis. Interacts with Rbf and Rbf2.
-!- INTERACTION:
Q9VPV7:CG4415; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-75924, EBI-134881;
-!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
-!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highest level during early embryogenesis and
then decreases in larvae, pupae and adults.
-!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the WD repeat RBAP46/RBAP48/MSI1 family.
-!- SIMILARITY: Contains 6 WD repeats.
