Introduction
ASF1 Anti-Silencing Function 1 Homolog B (ASF1B) is a histone chaperone protein belonging to the H3/H4 family. It shares similarities with the yeast anti-silencing function-1 protein. ASF1B serves as a substrate for cell cycle-regulated kinases of the tousled-like kinase family. It is believed to play a vital role in regulating chromatin's nucleosome structure by ensuring a consistent supply of histones at nucleosome assembly sites. Additionally, ASF1B collaborates with CAF-1 (chromatin assembly factor 1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly. ASF1B exhibits high expression levels in the testis, with lower levels detected in the colon, small intestine, and thymus. Spermatogenesis relies on the presence of ASF1B.
