Function |
Chromatin reader component of some histone acetyltransferase (HAT) SAGA-type complexes like the TFTC-HAT, ATAC or STAGA complexes (PubMed:19103755, PubMed:20850016, PubMed:26421618, PubMed:21685874, PubMed:26578293). SGF29 specifically recognizes and binds methylated 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me), with a preference for trimethylated form (H3K4me3) (PubMed:20850016, PubMed:26421618, PubMed:21685874, PubMed:26578293). In the SAGA-type complexes, SGF29 is required to recruit complexes to H3K4me (PubMed:20850016). Involved in the response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by recruiting the SAGA complex to H3K4me, thereby promoting histone H3 acetylation and cell survival (PubMed:23894581). |
