UniProtKB description:  Histone chaperone that facilitates histone deposition and histone exchange and removal during nucleosome assembly and disassembly (PubMed:11172707, PubMed:11331602, PubMed:11404324, PubMed:11856374, PubMed:14680630, PubMed:15071494, PubMed:15175160, PubMed:15452122, PubMed:15542829, PubMed:15766286, PubMed:15891116, PubMed:16039596, PubMed:16303565, PubMed:16407267, PubMed:16678113, PubMed:16936140). Facilitates histone deposition through both replication-dependent and replication-independent chromatin assembly pathways (PubMed:14585955, PubMed:15632066, PubMed:16678113). Cooperates with chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) to promote replication-dependent chromatin assembly and with the HIR complex to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly, which may occur during transcription and DNA repair (PubMed:10591219, PubMed:11404324, PubMed:11412995, PubMed:11731479, PubMed:11731480, PubMed:11756556, PubMed:12093919, PubMed:15542840, PubMed:15821127, PubMed:16020781, PubMed:16141196, PubMed:16143623, PubMed:16303565, PubMed:16501045, PubMed:16582440). May be required for the maintenance of a subset of replication elongation factors, including DNA polymerase epsilon, the RFC complex and PCNA, at stalled replication forks (PubMed:11412995, PubMed:15901673). Also required for RTT109-dependent acetylation of histone H3 on 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-56' (PubMed:15840725, PubMed:16627621, PubMed:16815704, PubMed:17046836, PubMed:17107956, PubMed:17320445, PubMed:21256037). Promotion of RTT109-mediated histone H3 'Lys-56' acetylation is dependent on interactions with histone H3 pre-acetylated on 'Lys-14' (PubMed:31194870).
