Condensin complex subunit 1 (NCAPD2)

The protein contains 1401 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 157182 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. May target the condensin complex to DNA via its C-terminal domain (PubMed:11136719). May promote the resolution of double-strand DNA catenanes (intertwines) between sister chromatids. Condensin-mediated compaction likely increases tension in catenated sister chromatids, providing directionality for type II topoisomerase-mediated strand exchanges toward chromatid decatenation. Required for decatenation of non-centromeric ultrafine DNA bridges during anaphase. Early in neurogenesis, may play an essential role to ensure accurate mitotic chromosome condensation in neuron stem cells, ultimately affecting neuron pool and cortex size (PubMed:27737959).

DESCRIPTION

NCAPD2 is a subunit of the condensin multiprotein complex required for mitotic chromosome condensation (Schmiesing et al., 2000).

CLONING

By sequencing clones obtained from a size-fractionated KG-1 human immature myeloid leukemia cell line cDNA library, Nagase et al. (1995) obtained an NCAPD2 clone, which they designated KIAA0159. The 3-prime end of the transcript contains an Alu sequence, and the deduced 1,401-amino acid protein is predicted to have a transmembrane segment. Northern blot analysis detected NCAPD2 expression in all human tissues and cell lines examined. Database analysis detected an ortholog of NCAPD2 in yeast. By Western blot analysis of HeLa cell nuclear extracts, Schmiesing et al. (2000) found that NCAPD2, which they called CNAP1, had an apparent molecular mass of 155 kD.

GENE FUNCTION

By coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis of HeLa cell nuclear extract, Schmiesing et al. (2000) found that CNAP1 interacted with the condensin subunits CAPC (SMC4; 605575) and CAPE (SMC2; 605576) in a stoichiometric manner. In synchronized HeLa cells, the 3 condensin proteins localized to the cytoplasm during interphase, but a subpopulation of the complex colocalized at specific chromosomal foci. During late G2/early prophase, these foci colocalized with phosphorylated histone H3 (see 602810) and, like phosphorylated histone H3, the condensin foci grew to cover the entire length of chromosomes during mitosis. Following mitosis, the majority of condensin subunits relocalized to the cytoplasm.

MAPPING

By PCR of a human/rodent hybrid panel, Nagase et al. (1995) mapped the NCAPD2 gene to chromosome 12. Hartz (2014) mapped the NCAPD2 gene to chromosome 12p13.31 based on an alignment of the NCAPD2 sequence (GenBank GENBANK D63880) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). ... More on the omim web site
