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

    Ridgway P, Almouzni G.

    Institut Curie/Section de Recherche UMR218 du CNRS, Paris cedex 05, France.

    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.

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
