== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/UBN1_HUMAN UBN1_HUMAN]] Acts as a novel regulator of senescence. Involved in the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), which represses expression of proliferation-promoting genes. Binds to proliferation-promoting genes. May be required for replication-independent chromatin assembly.<ref>PMID:14718166</ref> <ref>PMID:19029251</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ASF1_YEAST ASF1_YEAST]] Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Facilitates histone deposition through both replication-dependent and replication-independent chromatin assembly pathways. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with the HIR complex to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly, which may occur during transcription and DNA repair. May be required for the maintenance of a subset of replication elongation factors, including DNA polymerase epsilon, the RFC complex and PCNA, at stalled replication forks. Also required for acetylation of histone H3 on 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-56'.<ref>PMID:9290207</ref> <ref>PMID:10591219</ref> <ref>PMID:11412995</ref> <ref>PMID:11331602</ref> <ref>PMID:11731479</ref> <ref>PMID:11731480</ref> <ref>PMID:11404324</ref> <ref>PMID:11172707</ref> <ref>PMID:11856374</ref> <ref>PMID:11756556</ref> <ref>PMID:12093919</ref> <ref>PMID:14585955</ref> <ref>PMID:15071494</ref> <ref>PMID:15452122</ref> <ref>PMID:15175160</ref> <ref>PMID:15542829</ref> <ref>PMID:15542840</ref> <ref>PMID:15766286</ref> <ref>PMID:16303565</ref> <ref>PMID:15821127</ref> <ref>PMID:15901673</ref> <ref>PMID:16020781</ref> <ref>PMID:16143623</ref> <ref>PMID:16039596</ref> <ref>PMID:15632066</ref> <ref>PMID:15891116</ref> <ref>PMID:16141196</ref> <ref>PMID:15840725</ref> <ref>PMID:16815704</ref> <ref>PMID:16936140</ref> <ref>PMID:16582440</ref> <ref>PMID:16407267</ref> <ref>PMID:17046836</ref> <ref>PMID:16678113</ref> <ref>PMID:16501045</ref> <ref>PMID:16627621</ref> <ref>PMID:17107956</ref> <ref>PMID:17320445</ref> <ref>PMID:14680630</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/H4_XENLA H4_XENLA]] Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.

Constitutes the predominant form of histone H3 in non-dividing cells and is incorporated into chromatin independently of DNA synthesis. Deposited at sites of nucleosomal displacement throughout transcribed genes, suggesting that it represents an epigenetic imprint of transcriptionally active chromatin.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Histone chaperones bind specific histones to mediate their storage, eviction or deposition from/or into chromatin. The HIRA histone chaperone complex, composed of HIRA, ubinuclein-1 (UBN1) and CABIN1, cooperates with the histone chaperone ASF1a to mediate H3.3-specific binding and chromatin deposition. Here we demonstrate that the conserved UBN1 Hpc2-related domain (HRD) is a novel H3.3-specific-binding domain. Biochemical and biophysical studies show the UBN1-HRD preferentially binds H3.3/H4 over H3.1/H4. X-ray crystallographic and mutational studies reveal that conserved residues within the UBN1-HRD and H3.3 G90 as key determinants of UBN1-H3.3-binding specificity. Comparison of the structure with the unrelated H3.3-specific chaperone DAXX reveals nearly identical points of contact between the chaperone and histone in the proximity of H3.3 G90, although the mechanism for H3.3 G90 recognition appears to be distinct. This study points to UBN1 as the determinant of H3.3-specific binding and deposition by the HIRA complex.
