| Function | Regulatory subunit of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. The condensin complex probably introduces positive supercoils into relaxed DNA in the presence of type I topoisomerases and converts nicked DNA into positive knotted forms in the presence of type II topoisomerases. The condensin complex probably also plays a role during interphase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854418}. |
| Subcellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854418}. Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854418}. Note=Nuclear throughout the cell cycle. During mitosis, most of the condensin complex is associated with the chromatin. At the onset of prophase, condensin associates with chromosome arms and to chromosome condensation. At anaphase, it is enriched at rDNA. Dissociation from chromosomes is observed in late telophase. |
