Polyanionic stretch‐deleted histone chaperone cia1/Asf1p is functional both <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i>

Abstract

These findings suggest that the areas responsible for both the conserved and species-specific functions of CIA/cia1/Asf1p are within their highly conserved regions and that the yeast-specific polyanionic stretch of cia1/Asf1p is not necessary for viability, histone binding, nucleosome assembly, or anti-silencing.
