MYSM1
Domain
Contains an N-terminal SANT domain that mediates histone/DNA binding, a central SWIRM domain to mediate interaction with chromatin associated proteins, and a C-terminal MPN domain that contains the metalloprotease activity.
Function
Metalloprotease with deubiquitinase activity that plays important regulator roles in hematopoietic stem cell function, blood cell production and immune response (PubMed:24062447, PubMed:26220525, PubMed:28115216). Participates in the normal programming of B-cell responses to antigen after the maturation process (By similarity). Within the cytoplasm, plays critical roles in the repression of innate immunity and autoimmunity (PubMed:33086059). Removes 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitins from TRAF3 and TRAF6 complexes (By similarity). Attenuates NOD2-mediated inflammation and tissue injury by promoting 'Lys-63'-linked deubiquitination of RIPK2 component (By similarity). Suppresses the CGAS-STING1 signaling pathway by cleaving STING1 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains (PubMed:33086059). In the nucleus, acts as a hematopoietic transcription regulator derepressing a range of genes essential for normal stem cell differentiation including EBF1 and PAX5 in B-cells, ID2 in NK-cell progenitor or FLT3 in dendritic cell precursors (PubMed:24062447). Deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, leading to dissociation of histone H1 from the nucleosome (PubMed:17707232).
Involvement in disease
Bone marrow failure syndrome 4
BMFS4
A form of bone marrow failure syndrome, a heterogeneous group of life-threatening disorders characterized by hematopoietic defects in association with a range of variable extra-hematopoietic manifestations. BMFS4 is characterized by early-onset anemia, leukopenia, decreased B cells, and developmental aberrations including facial dysmorphism, mild skeletal anomalies, and neurodevelopmental delay. BMFS4 inheritance is autosomal recessive.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
