Name | homolog of histone chaperone HIRA | Brief Description | histone chaperone HIRA-like protein |
TAIR Computational Description | histone chaperone HIRA-like protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a nuclear localized WD-repeat containing protein involved in negative regulation of knox gene expression via epigenetic mechanism of chromatin re-organization. It is a part of the HISTONE REGULATOR complex that deposits histones in a DNA synthesis-independent manner and affects both nucleosome occupancy and the maintenance of transcriptional silencing. Interacts physically and genetically with AS1. Expressed in meristem and leaf primordia. Homozygous mutants are embryo lethal. Phenotype of cosuppressed lines is variable but show effects on leaf development similar to as1/as2. |
