Anti-p55/DCAF1 antibody,Abcam,AB1766

Complex that assembles histone octamers onto replicating DNA in vitro. Caf-1 performs the first step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones h3 and h4 to replicating DNA; histones H2a/H2b can bind to this chromatin precursor subsequent to DNA replication to complete the histone octamer. P150 and p60 form complexes with newly synthesized histones h3 and acetylated H4 in cell extracts (by similarity). P55 associates with acetyltransferases and deacetylases in cell extracts and is also a component of the nucleosome remodeling factor complex (NURF), a protein complex consisting of four polypeptides that facilitates the perturbation of chromatin structure in vitro in an ATP-dependent manner. This subunit may assist targeting of protein complexes to chromatin.

Scientific Background

Target data 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 (NURF) complex, which catalyzes ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitates transcription of chromatin; 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. See full target information Caf1-55
