Background: RbAp48 (Retinoblastoma-binding protein p48 or Rb-associated protein p48)is a WD repeat protein that is a core histone binding subunit common to several complexes involved in chromatin assembly, chromatin remodeling, and histone deacetylation. These complexes include Chromatin Assembly Factor 1 (CAF1), which is required for chromatin assembly following DNA replication and repair, the core histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, which promotes histone deacetylation and subsequent transcriptional repression, the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex NuRD, the nucleosome remodeling factor (NURF) complex, and the PRC2 complex, which promotes repression of homeotic genes during development. RpAp48 also interacts with the retinoblastoma protein, and with SPEN/MINT and BRCA1. It is also a component of the DREAM complex, which represses cell cycle-dependent genes in quiescent cells.
