General annotation (Comments)

Function

Regulator which is able to repress transcription, possibly via its interaction with a multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex that modifies the chromatin. Its interaction with BRCA2 suggests that it may play a central role in the DNA repair function of BRCA2. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Interacts with the transactivation domain of BRCA2. Interacts with the chromoshadow domain of CBX1 and with ZMYND11. Does not interact with CBX3 or CBX5. Ref.1 Ref.12

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Note: Localizes to DNA damage markers in irradiated cells, suggesting that it participates in DNA repair process. Ref.1

Miscellaneous

Defects in EMSY may be a cause of sporadic breast cancer and higher-grade ovarian cancers. Overexpressed through amplification almost exclusively in sporadic breast cancer (13%) and higher-grade ovarian cancer (17%). Amplification is associated with worse survival, particularly in node-negative breast cancer, suggesting that it may be of prognostic value.

Was named EMSY by Ref.1 because the protein sequence contains the word 'SISTER', after the first author's sister, who is a breast cancer nurse.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 ENT (EMSY N-terminal) domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAF86947.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence AAH29375.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence AAL65260.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence BAB14627.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

Ontologies

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q7Z589-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q7Z589-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1091-1257: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q7Z589-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     82-82: N → K
     83-1322: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
