DESCRIPTION

Also known as SCC2_YEAST, SCC2. Plays a structural role in chromatin and is involved in sister chromatid cohesion (PubMed:9990856, PubMed:14614819, PubMed:25173104, PubMed:26354421). Forms a complex with SCC4 required for the stable association of the cohesin complex with chromatin, which may act by hydrolyzing ATP from SMC1 and SMC3 heads (PubMed:10882066, PubMed:14614819). Binds to the nucleosome-free promoter regions of ribosomal protein genes and tRNA genes. Involved in transcriptional regulation by cooperating with the RSC complex to maintain nucleosome exhaustion at its binding sites (PubMed:25173104). Interacts with SCC4 (PubMed:9990856, PubMed:10882066, PubMed:26038942). Interacts with the cohesin complex, which is composed of: the SMC1 and SMC3 heterodimer attached via their hinge domain, MCD1/SCC1 which link them, and IRR1/SCC3, which interacts with MCD1 (PubMed:9990856).
