Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; transcription coactivator activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cranial ganglion; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human YAF2 (YY1 associated factor 2).

Functional dissection of PRC1 subunits RYBP and YAF2 during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells.
Title: Functional dissection of PRC1 subunits RYBP and YAF2 during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells.
The results suggest that histone H1-dependent chromatin compaction plays a critical role in the stable propagation of H2AK119ub1 by RYBP/YAF2-PRC1 during cell division.
Title: RYBP/YAF2-PRC1 complexes and histone H1-dependent chromatin compaction mediate propagation of H2AK119ub1 during cell division.
Yaf2 acts as a functional, likely molecular, link between YY1 and the Polycomb proteins. It is proposed to mediate the DNA binding activity of YY1 and recruitment of Polycomb proteins to the regulatory region of target genes.
Title: PcG recruitment by the YY1 REPO domain can be mediated by Yaf2.

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.

RNA

NR_028315.1 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) includes an alternate exon resulting in a frameshift and early stop codon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
