    text
  • localized to the cytosol and associates with ribosomes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a cell cycle regulator
  • implicated in the regulation of cell growth
  • specifically recruited to histone H2A when it is ubiquitinated at Lys&
  • 8201;119 by means of a novel ubiquitin-interacting domain that is located in the evolutionarily conserved zuotin domain
  • at the onset of differentiation, specifically displaces polycomb-repressive complex 1 (PRC1) from chromatin and facilitates transcriptional activation
  • specifically binds to monoubiquitinated histone H2A and derepresses Polycomb target genes at the onset of cellular differentiation
  • recruited to typical Polycomb target genes, thereby putting it in a position to have an impact on differentiation and development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    protein, post translation, folding
