microspherule protein 1 (58 kD microspherule protein, cell cycle-regulated factor p78, MCRS2, MCRS1, MSP58)
Function:
- modulates transcription repressor activity of DAXX by recruiting it to the nucleolus
- may be an inhibitor of TERT telomerase activity
- binds to NOL1, DAXX, PINX1, TERT & Herpes simplex virus ICP22
Structure: contains 1 FHA domain
Compartment:
- nucleus, nucleolus
- in microspherules in the nucleolus
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=3
Expression:
- detected in testis > spleen, thymus, prostate, uterus, small intestine, colon, leukocytes
- cell-cycle regulated: levels are highest early in S phase, not detectable in G2
