Function

Plays a role in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway by regulating postreplication repair of UV-damaged DNA and genomic stability maintenance (PubMed:25931565). The SLF1-SLF2 complex acts to link RAD18 with the SMC5-SMC6 complex at replication-coupled interstrand cross-links (ICL) and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites on chromatin during DNA repair in response to stalled replication forks (PubMed:25931565). Promotes the recruitment of the SMC5-SMC6 complex to DNA lesions (PubMed:25931565). Plays a role in SMC5-SMC6 complex recruitment for viral restriction. Forms a complex with SIMC1 and this complex is required to recruit SMC5-SMC6 complex to PML nuclear bodies and sites of viral replication (PubMed:36373674).

Activity summary

SLF2 also known as Smc5-Smc6 complex localization factor 2 functions mechanically as an important player in DNA repair processes. It weighs approximately 180 kDa and displays a ubiquitous expression pattern across various tissues in the body. SLF2 operates by facilitating the proper localization of the Smc5-Smc6 complex to sites of DNA double-strand breaks which is essential for maintaining genomic stability.

Biological function summary

The protein SLF2 contributes to the DNA damage response by interacting with other molecular components to modulate DNA repair pathways. It integrates into the Smc5-Smc6 complex which plays a role in homologous recombination repair. This interaction assists cells in efficiently repairing DNA damages and supports cell cycle progression further influencing cellular responses to DNA damage.

Pathways

SLF2 takes part in cellular mechanisms that control the DNA damage response and repair pathways. It directly associates with the DNA repair pathway involving major players like the ATM and ATR protein kinases which sense DNA damage and initiate repair signals. This connection highlights SLF2's involvement in the proper activation of downstream signaling cascades necessary for resolving DNA lesions effectively.

Associated diseases and disorders

SLF2's role in maintaining genomic stability links it to certain conditions like cancer where DNA repair processes often malfunction. Deficiencies or mutations in SLF2 can disrupt its interaction with counterparts such as the Smc5-Smc6 complex contributing to chromosomal instability seen in cancerous cells. Additionally disorders like Fanconi anemia a genetic instability disorder may correspond with aberrant functioning of SLF2 and its complex interactions.
