Sentenece the gene occurs

27423868The DNA replication-independent histone chaperone HIRA plays an important role in control of chromatin in nonproliferating senescent cells
27423868While investigating the role of HIRA in senescence, we found conventional ChIP protocols to be problematic, routinely yielding too low amounts of DNA for sequencing
27423868Using this protocol, we were easily able to immunoprecipitate HIRA with sufficient DNA for Illumina sequencing
27217568O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT) interacts with the histone chaperone HIRA complex and regulates nucleosome assembly and cellular senescence
27217568The histone chaperone HIRA complex, consisting of histone cell cycle regulator (HIRA), Ubinuclein1 (UBN1), and calcineurin binding protein 1 (CABIN1), deposits histone variant H3
27217568Here, we show that O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (OGT), an enzyme that catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation of serine or threonine residues, interacts with UBN1, modifies HIRA, and promotes nucleosome assembly of H3
27217568Depletion of OGT or expression of the HIRA S231A O-GlcNAcylation-deficient mutant compromises formation of the HIRA-H3
27217568Importantly, OGT depletion or expression of the HIRA S231A mutant delays premature cellular senescence in primary human fibroblasts, whereas overexpression of OGT accelerates senescence
25512559HIRA orchestrates a dynamic chromatin landscape in senescence and is required for suppression of neoplasia
25512559Histone chaperone HIRA deposits variant histone H3
25512559Appropriately for a DNA replication-independent chaperone, HIRA is involved in control of chromatin in nonproliferating senescent cells, although its role is poorly defined
255125593 and H4 into chromatin of senescent cells depends on HIRA
25512559HIRA and newly deposited H3
25512559In senescent cells, but not proliferating cells, promoters of active genes are exceptionally enriched in H4K16ac, and HIRA is required for retention of H4K16ac
25512559HIRA is also required for retention of H4K16ac in vivo and suppression of oncogene-induced neoplasia
25512559These results show that HIRA controls a specialized, dynamic H4K16ac-decorated chromatin landscape in senescent cells and enforces tumor suppression
20569479Senescent mouse cells fail to overtly regulate the HIRA histone chaperone and do not form robust Senescence Associated Heterochromatin Foci
20569479This, in turn, activates a histone chaperone HIRA, and culminates in formation of specialized punctate domains of facultative heterochromatin, called Senescence-Associated Heterochromatin Foci (SAHF), that are enriched in the histone variant, macroH2A
19029251Human UBN1 is an ortholog of yeast Hpc2p and has an essential role in the HIRA/ASF1a chromatin-remodeling pathway in senescent cells
19029251Formation of SAHF in human cells is driven by a complex of histone chaperones, namely, HIRA and ASF1a
19029251In yeast, the complex orthologous to HIRA/ASF1a contains two additional proteins, Hpc2p and Hir3p
19029251We show that the Hpc2-related domain of UBN1, UBN2, and Hpc2p is an evolutionarily conserved HIRA/Hir-binding domain, which directly interacts with the N-terminal WD repeats of HIRA/Hir
17643369Formation of SAHF is driven by a complex of histone chaperones, HIRA and ASF1a, and depends upon prior localization of HIRA to PML nuclear bodies
17643369Repression of Wnt2 occurs early in senescence and independently of the pRB and p53 tumor suppressor proteins and drives relocalization of HIRA to PML bodies, formation of SAHF and senescence, likely through GSK3beta-mediated phosphorylation of HIRA
17242207Previously, we showed that a complex of histone chaperones, histone repressor A (HIRA) and antisilencing function 1a (ASF1a), plays a key role in the formation of SAHF
17242207Chromosome condensation depends on the ability of ASF1a to physically interact with its deposition substrate, histone H3, in addition to its cochaperone, HIRA
17242198Definition of pRB HIRA/ASF1a-mediated formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci
17242198One of the earliest steps in the senescence program is translocation of a histone chaperone, HIRA, into promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies
17242198HIRA bound to another histone chaperone, ASF1a, drives formation of SAHF
17242198Dominant negative HIRA mutants that block HIRA's localization to PML bodies prevent formation of SAHF, as does a PML-RARalpha fusion protein which disrupts PML bodies, directly supporting the idea that localization of HIRA to PML bodies is required for formation of SAHF
17242198Significantly, translocation of HIRA to PML bodies occurs in the absence of functional pRB and p53 tumor suppressor pathways
17242198However, our evidence indicates that downstream of HIRA's localization to PML bodies, the HIRA/ASF1a pathway cooperates with pRB and p53 to make SAHF, with the HIRA/ASF1a and pRB pathways acting in parallel
17242198We present evidence that convergence of the HIRA/ASF1a and pRB pathways occurs through a DNAJ-domain protein, DNAJA2
17116315The number of dermal fibroblasts containing damaged telomeres reaches a value of over 15% of total fibroblasts, whereas 80% of cells contain high levels of the heterochromatin protein HIRA
16980972The N- and C-terminal regions of ASF1a and ASF1b determine the different affinities of these two proteins for HIRA, by contacting regions outside the HIRA B domain
15621527Formation of MacroH2A-containing senescence-associated heterochromatin foci and senescence driven by ASF1a and HIRA
15621527A physical complex containing HIRA and another chromatin regulator, ASF1a, is rate limiting for formation of SAHF and onset of senescence, and ASF1a is required for formation of SAHF and efficient senescence-associated cell cycle exit
15621527These data indicate that HIRA and ASF1a drive formation of macroH2A-containing SAHF and senescence-associated cell cycle exit, via a pathway that appears to depend on flux of heterochromatic proteins through PML bodies
