{wiki=Chromatin_assembly_factor_1}
Chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) is a protein complex that plays a crucial role in DNA replication and chromatin assembly. It is primarily involved in the deposition of histones onto newly synthesized DNA during the S phase of the cell cycle. CAF-1 helps to ensure that newly replicated DNA is properly packaged into chromatin, which is essential for maintaining the structure of the genome and regulating gene expression.
