Condensin complex subunit 3 (NCAPG)

The protein contains 1015 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 114334 Da.

 

Regulatory subunit of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. The condensin complex probably introduces positive supercoils into relaxed DNA in the presence of type I topoisomerases and converts nicked DNA into positive knotted forms in the presence of type II topoisomerases.

The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 606280

Non-smc condensin i complex subunit g; ncapg
Condensin i complex, non-smc subunit g
Chromosome-associated protein g; capg

Members of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family of proteins (e.g., CAPC; 605575) are critical for mitotic chromosome condensation in frogs and for DNA repair in mammals.

CLONING

Jager et al. (2000) screened a melanoma cDNA library by SEREX (serologic analysis of cDNA expression libraries) and isolated a novel cDNA, called NY-MEL-3, encoding a deduced 1,015-amino acid mitotic protein highly homologous to the Xenopus chromosome condensation protein XCAP-G and designated human CAPG. RT-PCR and Northern blot analyses showed highest expression of CAPG in the testis among normal tissues and variable expression in tumor cells, reflecting the proliferative activity in these cells.

GENE FUNCTION

In contrast to most genomic DNA in mitotic cells, the promoter regions of some genes, such as the stress-inducible hsp70i gene that codes for a heat-shock protein, remain uncompacted, a phenomenon known as bookmarking. Xing et al. (2005) showed that hsp70i (see 140550) bookmarking is mediated by a transcription factor called HSF2 (140581), which binds this promoter in mitotic cells, recruits protein phosphatase 2A (see 605997), and interacts with the CAPG subunit of the condensin enzyme to promote efficient dephosphorylation and inactivation of condensin complexes in the vicinity, thereby preventing compaction at this site.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the CAPG gene to chromosome 4 (TMAP stSG54871). ... More on the omim web site
