Chaf1b | Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit B; Complex that is thought to mediate chromatin assembly in DNA replication and DNA repair. Assembles histone octamers onto replicating DNA in vitro. CAF-1 performs the first 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 subsequent to DNA replication to complete the histone octamer (By similarity).

Pura | Transcriptional activator protein Pur-alpha; This is a probable transcription activator that specifically binds the purine-rich single strand of the PUR element located upstream of the c-Myc gene. May play a role in the initiation of DNA replication and in recombination. (321 aa) |
