About HIRA

Cytogenetic location: 22q11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:19,330,698-19,431,733 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 43.4), bone marrow (RPKM 10.9) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a histone chaperone that preferentially places the variant histone H3.3 in nucleosomes. Orthologs of this gene in yeast, flies, and Plants are necessary for the formation of transcriptionally silent heterochomatin. This gene plays an important role in the formation of the senescence-associated heterochromatin foci. These foci likely mediate the irreversible cell cycle changes that occur in senescent cells. It is considered the primary candidate gene in some haploinsufficiency syndromes such as DiGeorge syndrome, and insufficient production of the gene may disrupt normal embryonic development.
