PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N-terminal SNH domain, potentially inhibitor
  • three potential SH2
  • one potential SH3 domains
  • an annexin-like imperfect repeat
  • a repression domain QPGY (glutamine, proline, glycine rich tyrosine) at the C terminus
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Ss18
    intraspecies homolog to SS18L2
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • SS18 family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , transcription factor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm,nuclear bodies,nuclear speckles
    text colocalized and binding with BRM in discrete nuclear speeckles
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transcriptional co-activator
  • SS18-SSX1 can negatively regulate TP53 tumor-suppressive function by increasing the stability of its negative regulator HDM2 (D'Arcy 2008)
  • SS18 plays a role in the pluripotent to somatic interface and undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation through a unique tyrosine-based mechanism
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • colocalizing with the polycomb group (PcG) complex
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • BRM of the SWI/SNF complex
  • sarcoma specific fusion gene SS18/SSX interacting with IGF1R (seem to play important but different roles in maintaining malignant growth of synovial sarcoma cells)
  • SHCBP1 is a novel downstream target gene of SS18-SSX1, and the oncogene SS18-SSX1 promotes tumorigenesis by increasing the expression of SHCBP1, which normally acts as a tumor promoting factor
  • cell & other
  • associating with chromatin
  • REGULATION
    Other regulated by the SYT/SSX gene form the normal allele
