  • a LISH domain, playing an important role in dimerization of PAFAH1B1
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to highly to murine Ssbp2

    basic FUNCTION
  • regulator of hematopoietic growth and differentiation, whose loss confers a block in differentiation advantage to myeloid leukemic cells
  • capable of potential tumor suppressor activity by gene dosage or other epigenetic mechanisms
  • novel regulator of hematopoietic growth and differentiation, whose loss confers a block in differentiation advantage to myeloid leukemic cells
  • may be playing an important role in transcriptional regulation
  • may play a critical role in leukemia pathogenesis
  • critical tumor suppressor in B lymphoid neoplasms
  • plays a role similar to SSBP1 in DNA damage-response pathways
  • SSBP1 and SSBP2 form two separate complexes with similar structures, and both are required for efficient homologous recombination (HR)-dependent repair of DSBs and ATM-dependent signaling pathways

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • SSBP1 and SSBP2 form separate complexes with two identical proteins, INTS3 and C9ORF80
  • bind and stabilize transcriptional cofactor LDB1 from proteosomal degradation to promote tissue-specific transcription through an evolutionarily conserved pathway
  • SSBP2, SSBP3 control LMO4 and LDB1 protein abundance in a cancer context
