Abstract Concomitant chromatin assembly and DNA duplication is essential for cell survival and genome integrity, and requires newly synthesized histones.Although the N-terminal domains of newly synthesized H3 and H4 present critical chiggate.com functions, their requirement for replication-coupled chromatin assembly is controversial.Using the unique capability of the spontaneous internalization of exogenous proteins in Physarum, we showed that H3 and H4 N-tails present critical functions in nuclear import during the S-phase, but are dispensable for assembly into nucleosomes.However, our data revealed that chromatin assembly in the S-phase of complexes presenting ectopic N-terminal domains occurs by a replication-independent mechanism.We found that replication-dependent chromatin assembly gruvi golden lager requires an H3/H4 complex with the relevant N-tail domains, suggesting a concomitant recognition of the two histone domains by histone chaperones.
