Primary Identifier | MGI:1915751 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 68501 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable SUMO ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA recombination; positive regulation of cell cycle process; and protein sumoylation. Predicted to be located in PML body and chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; spermatocyte; and testis. Used to study Bloom syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 10. Orthologous to human NSMCE2 (NSE2 (MMS21) homolog, SMC5-SMC6 complex SUMO ligase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display early embryonic lethality. Heterozygous null mice display reduced lifespans with increased tumor formation. Homozygous and heterozygous null mice display impaired mitotic segregation and elevated mitotic recombination.
