    Summary
    Enables DNA secondary structure binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation by host of viral genome replication; and telomere maintenance via recombination. Located in chromosome and nuclear body. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Is active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
