UniProt Annotation
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:0000269PubMed:17540172, ECO:0000269PubMed:18408754, ECO:0000269PubMed:20870719, ECO:0000269PubMed:20870725}.
Subcellular Localization Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed: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.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Widely expressed. Expression is reduced in colorectal cancer cell line SW480 and promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10445843}.
