Molecular and reverse genetic characterization of NUCLEOSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN1 (NAP1) genes unravels their function in transcription and nucleotide excision repair in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract excerpt

Compared with the well-studied biochemical function of NUCLEOSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN1 (NAP1) as a histone chaperone in nucleosome assembly/disassembly, the physiological roles of NAP1 remain largely uncharacterized. Here, we define the NAP1 gene family members in Arabidopsis, examine their molecular properties, and use reverse genetics to characterize their biological roles. We show that the four AtNAP1-group...
