abstract：:Histone chaperones function in histone transfer and regulate the nucleosome occupancy and the activity of genes. HIRA is a replication-independent (RI) histone chaperone that is linked to transcription and various developmental processes. Here, we show that HIRA interacts with Mef2 and contributes to the activation of...
