Summary: Contributes to histone binding activity and nucleosome binding activity. Involved in DNA replication-independent chromatin organization; DNA-dependent DNA replication; and positive regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription preinitiation complex assembly. Located in chromatin. Part of FACT complex and replication fork protection complex. Used to study cancer. Orthologous to human SSRP1 (structure specific recognition protein 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

Electron microscopy analysis of ATP-independent nucleosome unfolding by FACT.
Title: Electron microscopy analysis of ATP-independent nucleosome unfolding by FACT.
Intrinsic DNA-bending activity therefore favors nucleosome assembly by FACT over nucleosome reorganization, but excessive activity impairs FACT release, suggesting a quality control checkpoint during nucleosome assembly
Title: Functional roles of the DNA-binding HMGB domain in the histone chaperone FACT in nucleosome reorganization.
Results provide evidence that both FACT and Spt6 are important for transcription globally and may participate during different stages of transcription.
Title: Acetylation-Dependent Recruitment of the FACT Complex and Its Role in Regulating Pol II Occupancy Genome-Wide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
FACT remodels the tetranucleosomal unit of chromatin fibers for gene transcription.
Title: FACT Remodels the Tetranucleosomal Unit of Chromatin Fibers for Gene Transcription.
FACT binding results in dramatic ATP-independent, symmetrical and reversible DNA uncoiling that affects at least 70% of the DNA within a nucleosome. Nucleosome unfolding by yFACT (Spt16-Pob3 with Nhp6) is extensive and reversible.
Title: Large-scale ATP-independent nucleosome unfolding by a histone chaperone.
Histone chaperones FACT and Spt6 are important for appropriate H2AZ histone localization and for the functioning of RNA polymerase II.
Title: Histone chaperones FACT and Spt6 prevent histone variants from turning into histone deviants.
Spt6 and FACT have both overlapping and distinct functional interactions with histones and nucleosomes and that binding to each of the components of a nucleosome is not sufficient to produce nucleosome reorganization
Title: The Abundant Histone Chaperones Spt6 and FACT Collaborate to Assemble, Inspect, and Maintain Chromatin Structure in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
FACT, a heterodimer of Spt16 and Pob3, disrupts nucleosome structure by binding H2A-H2B with conserved peptide motifs.
Title: FACT Disrupts Nucleosome Structure by Binding H2A-H2B with Conserved Peptide Motifs.
Data show that the histone chaperones POB3 protein FACT and chromatin-remodeling histone chaperone Spt6 prevent widespread accumulation of histone H2A.Z.
Title: The Histone Chaperones FACT and Spt6 Restrict H2A.Z from Intragenic Locations.
Pob3-Q308K caused inefficient dissociation of FACT from nucleosomes.

Preferred Names: FACT complex subunit POB3

NP_013642.1

Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
