Experimentally controlled downregulation of the histone chaperone FACT inPlasmodium bergheireveals that it is critical to male gamete fertility
8 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) consists of the proteins SPT16 and SSRP1 and acts as a histone chaperone in the (dis)assembly of nucleosome (and thereby chromatin) structure during transcription and DNA replication. We identified a Plasmodium berghei protein, termed FACT-L, with homology to the SPT16 subunit of FACT. Epitope tagging of FACT-L showed nuclear localization with high expression in...
