Chromatin structure-remodeling complex subunit RSC2

UniProtKB accession:  Q06488

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the chromatin structure remodeling complex (RSC), which is involved in transcription regulation and nucleosome positioning. RSC is responsible for the transfer of a histone octamer from a nucleosome core particle to naked DNA. The reaction requires ATP and involves an activated RSC-nucleosome intermediate. Remodeling reaction also involves DNA translocation, DNA twist and conformational change. As a reconfigurer of centromeric and flanking nucleosomes, RSC complex is required both for proper kinetochore function in chromosome segregation and, via a PKC1-dependent signaling pathway, for organization of the cellular cytoskeleton. This subunit is involved in meiotic sporulation through regulating IME2 expression, and is also essential for 2-micron plasmid maintenance and for normal REP1 protein localization.
