    basic FUNCTION
  • required for cohesin binding to chromatin, sister-chromatid cohesion, and mitotic progression
  • a conserved patch on the surface of MAU2 is required to recruit NIPBL/MAU2 to centromeres and to build pericentromeric cohesion
  • balanced activity of NIPBL/MAU2 and WAPL enables cohesin to correctly structure chromosomes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • kollerin complex, consisting of NIPBL/MAU2 in vertebrates, is crucial for the chromatin-association of the cohesin complex and therefore for the critical functions of cohesin in cell division, transcriptional regulation and chromatin organisation
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NIPBL/Scc2 functionally interacts with the MAU2/Scc4 protein to initiate loading of cohesin onto chromatin
  • MAU2/NIPBL protein interaction is not only required for cohesin loading, but may also be required to restrict the level of NIPBL involved in regulating gene expression
