Function |
Polycomb group (PcG) protein that specifically recognizes and binds mono- and dimethyllysine residues on target proteins, therey acting as a 'reader' of a network of post- translational modifications. PcG proteins maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of genes: acts as a chromatin compaction factor by recognizing and binding mono- and dimethylated histone H1b/HIST1H1E at 'Lys-26' (H1bK26me1 and H1bK26me2) and histone H4 at 'Lys-20' (H4K20me1 and H4K20me2), leading to condense chromatin and repress transcription. Recognizes and binds p53/TP53 monomethylated at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes. Also recognizes and binds RB1/RB monomethylated at 'Lys-860'. Participates in the ETV6-mediated repression. Probably plays a role in cell proliferation. Overexpression induces multinucleated cells, suggesting that it is required to accomplish normal mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17540172, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18408754, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20870719, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20870
|
Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10445843}. Note=Excluded from the nucleolus. Does not colocalizes with the PcG protein BMI1, suggesting that these two proteins do not belong to the same complex.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. Expression is reduced in colorectal cancer cell line SW480 and promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10445843}.
