Summary: Enables several functions, including cyclin binding activity; histone binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus; nucleosome organization; and protein localization to cell division site after cytokinesis. Located in cellular bud neck septin collar. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including NAP1L1 (nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 1) and NAP1L4 (nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

an entire reaction scheme for the RSC-mediated nucleosome remodeling process that includes DNA looping, nucleosome ejection, the influence of adjacent nucleosomes, and the coordinated action between Nap1 and RSC.
Title: The synergy between RSC, Nap1 and adjacent nucleosome in nucleosome remodeling.
A Nap1 dimer provides an acidic binding surface and asymmetrically engages a single H2A-H2B heterodimer.
Title: Structural evidence for Nap1-dependent H2A-H2B deposition and nucleosome assembly.
Study found that Nap1 efficiently promotes disassembly of adjacent nucleosomes with which RSC collides and not the disassembly of nucleosomes mobilized by RSC. These results suggests a mechanism by which Nap1 is recruited to actively transcribed regions and assists in the passage of the transcription complex through chromatin, and it provides a novel mechanism for the coordinated action of RSC and Nap1.
Title: Coordinated Action of Nap1 and RSC in Disassembly of Tandem Nucleosomes.
Nap1 is essential for maintaining proper chromatin composition and modulating the exchange of H2A-H2B in vivo.
Title: Histone Chaperone Nap1 Is a Major Regulator of Histone H2A-H2B Dynamics at the Inducible GAL Locus.
these results define the distinct roles for histone chaperones Chz1 and Nap1 to regulate Htz1 incorporation into chromatin.
Title: Distinct roles for histone chaperones in the deposition of Htz1 in chromatin.
Nap1 and DNA directly compete for H2A-H2B histones. Nap1 stabilizes the fold of H2A-H2B histones
Title: Chaperone Nap1 shields histone surfaces used in a nucleosome and can put H2A-H2B in an unconventional tetrameric form.
findings show that Nap1 and Vps75 regulate cryptic transcription observed in the absence of Ctk1. Rtt109 acetylation of H3 K9 also plays a role in this pathway, and both Vps75 and Nap1 promote acetylation of H3 in the ORF.
Title: Histone chaperones Nap1 and Vps75 regulate histone acetylation during transcription elongation.
present evidence for a paradigm in which nucleosome assembly requires the elimination of competing, nonnucleosomal histone-DNA interactions by Nap1.
Title: The histone chaperone Nap1 promotes nucleosome assembly by eliminating nonnucleosomal histone DNA interactions.
the histone chaperones Nap1 and Chz1 have separate Htz1-dependent and -independent functions
Title: Nap1 and Chz1 have separate Htz1 nuclear import and assembly functions.
analysis of a thermodynamic model for Nap1-histone interactions
