Here we show that, in the presence of ASF1, sNASP principally recognizes a partially unfolded Nalpha region of histone H3, and in the absence of ASF1, an additional sNASP binding site becomes available in the core domain of the H3-H4 complex. Our study also implicates a critical role of the C-terminal tail of H4 in the transfer of H3-H4 between sNASP and ASF1 and the coiled-coil domain of sNASP in nucleosome assembly. These findings provide mechanistic insights into coordinated histone binding and transfer by histone chaperones. Distinct histone H3-H4 binding modes of sNASP reveal the basis for cooperation and competition of histone chaperones.,Liu CP, Jin W, Hu J, Wang M, Chen J, Li G, Xu RM Genes Dev. 2021 Dec 1;35(23-24):1610-1624. doi: 10.1101/gad.349100.121.
