Sister chromatid cohesion protein 2

UniProtKB accession:  Q04002

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a structural role in chromatin and is involved in sister chromatid cohesion (PubMed:9990856, PubMed:14614819, PubMed:25173104, PubMed:26354421). Forms a complex with SCC4 required for the stable association of the cohesin complex with chromatin, which may act by hydrolyzing ATP from SMC1 and SMC3 heads (PubMed:10882066, PubMed:14614819). Binds to the nucleosome-free promoter regions of ribosomal protein genes and tRNA genes. Involved in transcriptional regulation by cooperating with the RSC complex to maintain nucleosome exhaustion at its binding sites (PubMed:25173104).
