ID:HJURP_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Holliday junction recognition protein; AltName: Full=14-3-3-associated AKT substrate; AltName: Full=Fetal liver-expressing gene 1 protein; AltName: Full=Up-regulated in lung cancer 9; FUNCTION: Centromeric protein that plays a central role in the incorporation and maintenance of histone H3-like variant CENPA at centromeres. Acts as a specific chaperone for CENPA and is required for the incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA molecules into nucleosomes at replicated centromeres. Prevents CENPA-H4 tetramerization and prevents premature DNA binding by the CENPA-H4 tetramer. Directly binds Holliday junctions. SUBUNIT: Interacts with CENPA (via CATD domain); the interaction is direct and specific for CENPA since it does not interact with H3.1- or H3.3-containing nucleosomes. Heterotrimer composed of HJURP, CENPA and histone H4, where HJURP interacts with the dimer formed by CENPA and histone H4 and prevents tetramerization of CENPA and H4. Interacts with 14-3-3 family members in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Interacts with MSH5 and NBN. INTERACTION: P49450:CENPA; NbExp=14; IntAct=EBI-719429, EBI-1751979; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus, nucleolus. Chromosome, centromere. Note=Localizes in centromeres during late telophase and early G1, when CENPA nucleosomes are assembled. Localizes to nucleolus during S phase, nucleolus site being often related to storage. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: According to PubMed:17256767, highly expressed in the thymus with lower levels in the placenta, small intestine, liver, skeletal muscle, and colon. According to PubMed:17823411, highly expressed in testis, and at a relatively lower level in thymus and bone marrow. Significantly overexpressed in many lung cancer samples, compared with normal lung. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAB82391.2; Type=Erroneous termination; Positions=437; Note=Translated as Arg;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
