Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHAF1A gene.^[3][4]

Function

Chromatin assembly factor I (CAF-1) is a nuclear complex consisting of p50, p60 (CHAF1B; MIM 601245), and p150 (CHAF1A) subunits that assembles histone tetramers onto replicating DNA in vitro (Kaufman et al., 1995).[supplied by OMIM]^[4]

Interactions

CHAF1A has been shown to interact with:

• ASF1A,^[5]
• ASF1B,^[5][6]
• BLM,^[7]
• CBX5,^[8][9] and
• MBD1.^[8]
