SAP30 Gene

Sin3A-associated protein, 30kDa

Histone acetylation plays a key role in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Histone acetylation and deacetylation are catalyzed by multisubunit complexes. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the histone deacetylase complex, which includes SIN3, SAP18, HDAC1, HDAC2, RbAp46, RbAp48, and other polypeptides. This complex is active in deacetylating core histone octamers, but inactive in deacetylating nucleosomal histones. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 3.

SAP30-DT Gene

SAP30 divergent transcript

SAP30L Gene

SAP30-like

Enables several functions, including non-sequence-specific DNA binding activity, bending; phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Part of histone deacetylase complex.
