ATXN7L3
Domain
The long N-terminal helix forms part of the 'assembly lobe' of the SAGA deubiquitination module.
The C-terminal SGF11-type zinc-finger domain together with the C-terminal catalytic domain of USP22 forms the 'catalytic lobe' of the SAGA deubiquitination module.
Function
Component of the transcription regulatory histone acetylation (HAT) complex SAGA, a multiprotein complex that activates transcription by remodeling chromatin and mediating histone acetylation and deubiquitination. Within the SAGA complex, participates in a subcomplex that specifically deubiquitinates both histones H2A and H2B (PubMed:18206972, PubMed:21746879). The SAGA complex is recruited to specific gene promoters by activators such as MYC, where it is required for transcription. Required for nuclear receptor-mediated transactivation. Within the complex, it is required to recruit USP22 and ENY2 into the SAGA complex (PubMed:18206972). Regulates H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1) levels. Affects subcellular distribution of ENY2, USP22 and ATXN7L3B (PubMed:27601583).
