DESCRIPTION

Also known as PCID2_HUMAN, PCID2. Required for B-cell survival through the regulation of the expression of cell-cycle checkpoint MAD2L1 protein during B cell differentiation (By similarity). As a component of the TREX-2 complex, involved in the export of mRNAs to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores (PubMed:22307388). Binds and stabilizes BRCA2 and is thus involved in the control of R-loop-associated DNA damage and transcription-associated genomic instability (PubMed:24896180). Blocks the activity of the SRCAP chromatin remodeling complex by interacting with SRCAP complex member ZNHIT1 and inhibiting its interaction with the complex (By similarity). This prevents the deposition of histone variant H2AZ1/H2A.Z at the nucleosomes of key lymphoid fate regulator genes which suppresses their expression and restricts lymphoid lineage commitment (By similarity). Component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC)-associated TREX-2 complex (transcription and export complex 2), composed of at least GANP, 2 copies of ENY2, PCID2, SEM1/DSS1, and either centrin CETN2 or centrin CETN3. The TREX-2 complex also associates with ALYREF/ALY and with the nucleoporin NUP153 (PubMed:22307388, PubMed:23591820). Interacts with BRCA2 (PubMed:24896180). Interacts with SRCAP chromatin remodeling complex component ZNHIT1; the interaction results in inhibition of SRCAP complex activity, preventing the deposition of histone variant H2AZ1/H2A.Z to lymphoid fate regulator genes and restricting lymphoid lineage commitment (By similarity).
