ID:CAF1B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit B; Short=CAF-1 subunit B; AltName: Full=Chromatin assembly factor I p60 subunit; Short=CAF-I 60 kDa subunit; Short=CAF-I p60; AltName: Full=M-phase phosphoprotein 7; FUNCTION: Complex that is thought to mediate chromatin assembly in DNA replication and DNA repair. Assembles histone octamers onto replicating DNA in vitro. CAF-1 performs the first step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 to replicating DNA; histones H2A/H2B can bind to this chromatin precursor subsequent to DNA replication to complete the histone octamer. The CCR4-NOT complex functions as general transcription regulation complex. SUBUNIT: Subunit of the CAF-1 complex that contains RBBP4, CHAF1B and CHAF1A. CHAF1A binds directly to CHAF1B. Only minor amounts of RBBP4 are complexed with CHAF1A and CHAF1B in G1 phase. In G2 and S phase also monomeric CHAF1B is detected. Subunit of the CCR4-NOT core complex that contains CHAF1A, CHAF1B, CNOT1, CNOT2, CNOT3, CNOT4, CNOT6 and CNOT8. INTERACTION: Q96LI5:CNOT6L; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1052944, EBI-1046635; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=DNA replication foci. Cytoplasmic in M phase. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Active complex is found in G1, S and G2 phases. PTM: Differentially phosphorylated during cell cycle. During mitosis the p60 subunit of inactive CAF-1 is hyperphosphorylated and displaced into the cytosol. Progressivly dephosphorylated from G1 to S and G2 phase. Phosphorylated p60 is recruited to chromatin undergoing DNA repair after UV irradiation in G1, S or G2 phases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the WD repeat HIR1 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 7 WD repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
