Arabidopsis	At3g44530	Histone chaperone involved in maintining knox genes silencing throughout leaf development.	Maize rough sheath2 and its Arabidopsis orthologue ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 interact with HIRA, a predicted histone chaperone, to maintain knox gene silencing and determinacy during organogenesis.; 2005; DOI: 10.1105/tpc.105.035477; PMID: 16243907; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16243907/ | The HIRA complex that deposits the histone H3.3 is conserved in Arabidopsis and facilitates transcriptional dynamics.; 2014; DOI: 10.1242/bio.20148680; PMID: 25086063; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25086063/ | The histone chaperone complex HIR maintains nucleosome occupancy and counterbalances impaired histone deposition in CAF-1 complex mutants.; 2015; DOI: 10.1111/tpj.12758; PMID: 25600486; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25600486/
