A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name ASF1
Type histone modification
Species Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Tissue NA
Experiment Method PCR, ChiP, Luciferase reporter assay, Western blot
Up/Down Down
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description 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 of histone H3 on lysine 56 are short lived, and this appears to be at least partly due to
