Facts about Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit A.
CAF-1 performs the initial step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 to replicating DNA; histones H2A/H2B can bind to this chromatin precursor following DNA replication to finish the histone octamer. CHAF1A binds to histones H3 and H4.
