ASF1 anti-silencing function 1 homolog A, also known as ASF1A, belongs to H3/H4 family of histone chaperone proteins. ASF1A protein interacts with histones H3 and H4, and functions together with a chromatin assembly factor during DNA replication and repair. Deletion of ASF1A in yeast and Drosophila confers sensitivity to various DNA damaging agents and inhibitors of DNA replication, increases genomic instability and sister chromatid exchange, and activates the DNA damage checkpoint.
