ATAD2 controls chromatin-bound HIRA turnover

Parallel study of multiple model systems points to the evolutionary conserved protein ATAD2, as a critical histone chaperone auxiliary factor.

Author names should not be mentioned.

B. MANUSCRIPT ORGANIZATION AND FORMATTING:
Full guidelines are available on our Instructions for Authors page, https://www.life-sciencealliance.org/authors We encourage our authors to provide original source data, particularly uncropped/-processed electrophoretic blots and spreadsheets for the main figures of the manuscript. If you would like to add source data, we would welcome one PDF/Excel-file per figure for this information. These files will be linked online as supplementary "Source Data" files. ***IMPORTANT: It is Life Science Alliance policy that if requested, original data images must be made available. Failure to provide original images upon request will result in unavoidable delays in publication. Please ensure that you have access to all original microscopy and blot data images before submitting your revision.*** Thank you for submitting your revised manuscript entitled "ATAD2 controls chromatin-bound HIRA turnover". We would be happy to publish your paper in Life Science Alliance pending final revisions necessary to meet our formatting guidelines.
Along with points mentioned below, please tend to the following: -please upload both your main and supplementary figures as single files -please add ORCID ID for secondary corresponding) author-they should have received instructions on how to do so -please add your main, supplementary figure, and table legends to the main manuscript text after the references section -please revise call-outs in the manuscript text for Figures 2C (which is missing) and 3C -please indicate the molecular weight alongside blots in figure 3A If you are planning a press release on your work, please inform us immediately to allow informing our production team and scheduling a release date.
LSA now encourages authors to provide a 30-60 second video where the study is briefly explained. We will use these videos on social media to promote the published paper and the presenting author (for examples, see https://twitter.com/LSAjournal). Corresponding or first-authors are welcome to submit the video. Please submit only one video per manuscript. The video can be emailed to contact@life-science-alliance.org To upload the final version of your manuscript, please log in to your account: https://lsa.msubmit.net/cgi-bin/main.plex You will be guided to complete the submission of your revised manuscript and to fill in all necessary information.
