Background
The encoded protein is a homolog of yeast securin proteins, which prevent separins from promoting sister chromatid separation. It is an anaphase-promoting complex (APC) substrate that associates with a separin until activation of the APC. The gene product has transforming activity in vitro and tumorigenic activity in vivo, and the gene is highly expressed in various tumors. The gene product contains 2 PXXP motifs, which are required for its transforming and tumorigenic activities, as well as for its stimulation of basic fibroblast growth factor expression. It also contains a destruction box (D box) that is required for its degradation by the APC. The acidic C-terminal region of the encoded protein can act as a transactivation domain. The gene product is mainly a cytosolic protein, although it partially localizes in the nucleus. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been fo
Function
developmental stage:Low level during G1 and S phases. Peaks at M phase. During anaphase, it is degraded.,disease:Has strong transforming capabilities on a variety of cell lines including NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and on athymic nude mice. Overexpressed in many patients suffering from pituitary adenomas, primary epithelial neoplasias, and esophageal cancer. No mutation in the coding sequence has been observed. The transforming capability may be due to its interaction and regulation of TP53 pathway.,domain:The N-terminal destruction box (D-box) acts as a recognition signal for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.,function:Regulatory protein, which plays a central role in chromosome stability, in the p53/TP53 pathway, and DNA repair. Probably acts by blocking the action of key proteins. During the mitosis, it blocks Separase/ESPL1 function, preventing the proteolysis of the cohesin c
