Abstract excerpt
ANTI-SILENCING FUNCTION 1 (ASF1) is an evolutionarily conserved histone chaperone involved in diverse chromatin-based processes in eukaryotes. Yet, its role in transcription and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely elusive, particularly in plants. Here, we show that the A rabidopsis thaliana ASF1 homologous genes, AtASF1A and AtASF1B, are involved in gene transcription activation in response to heat...
