HIR histone chaperone complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Histone chaperone complex which promotes nucleosome assembly. Cooperates with the ASF1 (P32447) co-chaperone to deposit histone (H3/H4)2 tetramers on DNA for replication-independent chromatin assembly. Prevents SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling activity. Binds to and represses transcription of histone genes throughout the cell cycle, but does not repress transcription in G1/S phase.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
