  • in spermatocytes, NIPBL/MAU2 then relocalises to chromocenters, whereas in oocytes it remains bound to chromosomal axes throughout prophase to dictyate arrest
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in sister chromatid cohesion and developmental regulation
  • multi-functional protein with roles in chromosome function, gene regulation and double-strand DNA repair
  • required for the loading of Cohesin onto chromatin, have been implicated in double-strand DNA repair and in the regulation of gene expression (Jahnke 2008)
  • has a function in modulating chromatin architecture, particularly for gene-rich areas of the chromosome
  • plays an important role in chromatin compaction, having the most impact in regions of the genome with the highest gene density and the highest density of CTCF and cohesin binding sites
  • NIPBL and cohesin have been reported to affect long-range chromosomal interactions, both independently and through interactions with CTCF
  • 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
  • NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21, and HDAC8 genes codify for the "cohesin complex" playing a role in chromatid adhesion, DNA repair and gene expression regulation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, repair
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • subunit of the Cohesin loading complex
  • 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
  • sites of DNA damage
  • RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • histone deacetylases -1 and -3
  • mediator-cohesin complexes
  • NIPBL/Scc2 functionally interacts with the MAU2/Scc4 protein to initiate loading of cohesin onto chromatin
  • STAG2 is the main complex corecruited with the cohesin-loading factor NIPBL to DNA damage sites in an S/G(2)-phase-specific manner
  • 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
  • NIPBL interacts with cohesin and then increases transcriptional activities of REC8 promoter, leading to up-regulation of gene expression
