Structural and mechanistic insights into ATRX-dependent and -independent functions of the histone chaperone DAXX

The ATRX-DAXX histone chaperone complex incorporates H3.3 in heterochromatin in a replication-independent manner. Here, the authors present a high-resolution x-ray crystal structure of an interaction surface between ATRX and DAXX, and characterize ATRX-dependent and-independent functions of DAXX.
