EID3
Function
Tissue-specific component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex, a complex involved in repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. The complex may promote sister chromatid homologous recombination by recruiting the SMC1-SMC3 cohesin complex to double-strand breaks. The complex is required for telomere maintenance via recombination and mediates sumoylation of shelterin complex (telosome) components.
Acts as a repressor of nuclear receptor-dependent transcription possibly by interfering with CREBBP-dependent coactivation. May function as a coinhibitor of other CREBBP/EP300-dependent transcription factors.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the NSE4 family.
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in testis.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Chromosome
- Telomere
- May shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm.
