General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acetyltransferase required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion and couple the processes of cohesion and DNA replication to ensure that only sister chromatids become paired together. In contrast to the structural cohesins, the deposition and establishment factors are required only during S phase. Acts by mediating the acetylation of cohesin component SMC3. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.11 Ref.12

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Chromosome. Note: Nuclear at interphase, associated with chromosomes during mitosis. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.12

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in heart, brain, liver, placenta, lung, kidney and pancreas. Highly expressed in muscle. Ref.7

Domain

The N-terminal region seems to be responsible for the association with chromosomes, thus excluding any involvement of the Zn finger in this process.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated during mitosis. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the acetyltransferase family. GCN5 subfamily.

Caution

It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-2 is the initiator.

Sequence caution

The sequence BAB67804.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence BAC03483.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
