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][5]

Interactions

CHAF1A has been shown to interact with:

• ASF1A,[6]
• ASF1B,[6][7]
• BLM,[8]
• CBX5,[9][10] and
• MBD1.[9]
