UniProt functional annotation for Q9BTC0

UniProt code: Q9BTC0.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Putative transcription factor, weakly pro-apoptotic when overexpressed (By similarity). Tumor suppressor. Required for early embryonic stem cell development. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16127461}.
 
Function: [Isoform 2]: Displaces isoform 4 at the onset of differentiation, required for repression of stemness genes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16127461}.
 
Subunit: Interacts specifically (via PHD-type zinc finger) with histone H3 that is trimethylated at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3), histone phosphorylation at 'Thr-3' or 'Thr-6' disrupts this binding and promotes translocation of DIDO1 from chromatin to the mitotic spindle during mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23831028}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00651}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23831028}. Note=Translocates to the nucleus after pro-apoptotic stimuli (By similarity). Translocates to the mitotic spindle upon loss of interaction with H3K4me3 during early mitosis. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
Domain: The PHD-type zinc finger forms an aromatic cage around H3K4me3.
Miscellaneous: Defects in DIDO1 may be a cause of myeloid neoplasms.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA20791.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
