[The function of histone chaperones during development].
Histone chaperones may participate the decondensation and assembly of chromatins, thus regulate gene expression. They play important roles in almost all developmental processes, such as gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis, growth and senescence. In this review, we used well studied examples to illustrate various functions of histone chaperones during developmental processes. Focus is given to nucleoplasmin, CAF-1, HIRA, ASF1/CIA, and NAP1.
