Abstract excerpt
The removal of histones from DNA and their subsequent replacement is likely to be necessary for all processes that require access to the DNA sequence in eukaryotic cells. The histone chaperone chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) mediates histone H3-H4 assembly during DNA replication and nucleotide excision repair in vitro. We have found that budding yeast deleted for the genes encoding CAF-1 are highly sensitive...
