The human HIRA protein is encoded from a region of chromosome 22q that is critical for the
DiGeorge syndrome and the velocardiofacial syndrome. We have previously reported that it
directly interacts with core histones, with a novel histone-binding protein, HIRIP3, and during
mouse embryogenesis, with the developmentally regulated homeodomain protein Pax3,
suggesting a promoter-targeted function at the chromatin level. We here report on HIRA-
interacting protein 5 (HIRIP5), a small acidic protein that interacted with HIRA in a double …
