HIRA-interacting protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIRIP3 gene.The HIRA protein shares sequence similarity with Hir1p and Hir2p the two corepressors of histone gene transcription characterized in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The structural features of the HIRA protein suggest that it may function as part of a multiprotein complex. Recently several cDNAs encoding HIRA-interacting proteins or HIRIPs have been identified.
