Recombinant Human ASF1a Protein

Product Name: Recombinant Human ASF1a Protein
Catalog #:  HTF-1476
Manufacture:  LD Biopharma, Inc.
Intruduction:

Human Histone chaperone ASF1a encodes a member of the H3 / H4 family of histone chaperone proteins and is similar to the anti-silencing function-1 gene in yeast. The protein is a key component of a histone donor complex that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly. Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with HIRA to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly. ASF1a is required for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) and efficient senescence-associated cell cycle exit. ASF1a protein can be phosphorylated by TLK1 and TLK2, and it is highly phosphorylated in S-phase and at lower levels in M-phase. TLK2-mediated ASF1a phosphorylation at Ser-192 prevents proteasome-dependent degradation. Recent data indicated that ASF1a is specifically enriched in the metaphase II human oocyte, is necessary for reprogramming of human adult dermal fibroblasts into undifferentiated iPS cells.

Full-length human ASF1a (204 aa) gene was constructed using full-gene synthesis with codon optimization strategy. 29 aa N-terminal T7 / His / TEV cleavage site Tag was added and expressed in E.coli as inclusion bodies. This protein was refolded using our unique “temperature shift inclusion body refolding” technology and chromatographically purified.
