Protein HIRA, TUP1-like enhancer of split protein 1, HIRA, DGCR1, HIR, TUPLE1
Product description
This gene encodes a histone chaperone that preferentially
places the variant histone H3.3 in nucleosomes. Orthologs of this
gene in yeast, flies, and plants are necessary for the formation of
transcriptionally silent heterochomatin. This gene plays an
important role in the formation of the senescence-associated
heterochromatin foci. These foci likely mediate the irreversible
cell cycle changes that occur in senescent cells. It is considered
the primary candidate gene in some haploinsufficiency syndromes
such as DiGeorge syndrome, and insufficient production of the gene
may disrupt normal embryonic development.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care (2010) In press :
