The highly conserved eukaryotic histone chaperone ASF1 is involved in the assembly and
disassembly of nucleosomes during transcription, DNA replication, and repair. It was the first …

Ascomycetes develop four major types of fruiting bodies that share a common ancestor, and
a set of common core genes most likely controls this process. One way to identify such …

Background Fungal fruiting bodies are complex three-dimensional structures that are formed
to protect and disperse the sexual spores. Their morphogenesis requires the concerted …

We performed a functional analysis of two potential partners of ASF1, a highly conserved
histone chaperone that plays a crucial role in the sexual development and DNA damage …

Background: Asf1 is a ubiquitous eukaryotic histone binding and deposition protein that
mediates nucleosome formation in vitro and is required for genome stability in vivo. Studies …

The packaging of the eukaryotic genome into chromatin is likely to regulate all processes
that occur on the DNA template. The assembly and disassembly of chromatin structures from …

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants is distinct from that in animals since gametogenesis
requires production of haploid spores, which divide and differentiate into specialised …

The anti-silencing function protein 1 (Asf1) is a chaperone that forms a complex with
histones H3 and H4 facilitating dimer deposition and removal from chromatin. Most …

The formation of fruiting bodies is one of the most complex developmental processes in
filamentous ascomycetes. It requires the development of sexual structures that give rise to …

Asf1 (anti-silencing function 1), a well conserved protein from yeast to humans, acts as a
histone chaperone and is predicted to participate in a variety of chromatin-mediated cellular …
