UniProt functional annotation for Q14527

UniProt code: Q14527.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Has both helicase and E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. Possesses intrinsic ATP-dependent nucleosome-remodeling activity; This activity may be required for transcriptional activation or repression of specific target promoters (By similarity). These may include the SERPINE1 and HIV-1 promoters and the SV40 enhancer, to which this protein can bind directly. Plays a role in error-free postreplication repair (PRR) of damaged DNA and maintains genomic stability through acting as a ubiquitin ligase for 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of chromatin-bound PCNA. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10391891, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18316726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719106, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7876228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8672239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9126292}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L- cysteine + N(6)-ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine.; EC=2.3.2.27;
Pathway: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Subunit: Interacts with SP1 and SP3 independently of DNA; the interaction with these transcriptional factors may be required for basal transcription of target genes. Interacts with EGR1; the interaction requires prior binding to DNA and represses c-Rel via a DNA looping mechanism (By similarity). Interacts with GATA4 (By similarity). Interacts with PCNA; the interaction promotes polyubiquitination of PCNA through association with the UBE2B-RAD18 and UBE2V2-UBE2N ubiquitin ligase complexes. Interacts with RAD18, SHPRH, UBE2V2 and UBE2N. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10391891, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18316726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719106}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8672239}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Nuclear localization is stimulated by progesterone. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8672239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9126292}.
Miscellaneous: Subject to frequent epigenetic inactivation by promoter methylation in colon cancer.
Similarity: Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. RAD16 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
