ASF1

CIA1, nucleosome assembly factor ASF1, L000000126, YJL115W
Nucleosome assembly factor; involved in chromatin assembly and disassembly, anti-silencing protein that causes derepression of silent loci when overexpressed; plays a role in regulating Ty1 transposition; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

HTA1

H2A1, SPT11, histone H2A, L000000827, YDR225W
Histone H2A; core histone protein required for chromatin assembly and chromosome function; one of two nearly identical subtypes (see also HTA2); DNA damage-dependent phosphorylation by Mec1p facilitates DNA repair; acetylated by Nat4p; N-terminally propionylated in vivo

Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Elevated histone expression promotes life span extension.

Changes to the chromatin structure accompany aging, but the molecular mechanisms underlying aging and the accompanying changes to the chromatin are unclear. Here, we report a mechanism whereby altering chromatin structure regulates life span. We show that normal aging is accompanied by a profound loss of histone proteins from the genome. Indeed, yeast lacking the histone chaperone Asf1 or acetylation ... [more]
