"CAF-1 and the inheritance of chromatin states: at the crossroads of DNA replication and repair." |

Abstract:
| Chromatin is no longer considered to be a static structural framework for packaging DNA within the nucleus but is instead believed to be an interactive component of DNA metabolism. The ordered assembly of chromatin produces a nucleoprotein template capable of epigenetically regulating the expression and maintenance of the genome. Factors have been isolated from cell extracts that stimulate early steps in chromatin assembly in vitro. The function of one such factor, chromatin-assembly factor 1 (CAF-1), might extend beyond simply facilitating the progression through an individual assembly reaction to its active participation in a marking system. This marking system could be exploited at the crossroads of DNA replication and repair to monitor genome integrity and to define particular epigenetic states. |
