ID:SPA24_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Spermatogenesis-associated protein 24; AltName: Full=Testis protein T6441 homolog; FUNCTION: Binds DNA with high affinity but does not bind to TATA boxes. Synergises with GMNN and TBP in activation of TATA box- containing promoters and with GMNN and TBPL1 in activation of the NF1 TATA-less promoter. May play a role in cytoplasm movement and removal during spermiogenesis (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with CBX3, CBX5, GMNN, GTF2B, TBPL1 and the polycomb proteins PHCF2, RNF2 and SCMH1 but not with CBX1 or PCGF2 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Note=Associated with chromatin (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SPATA24 family.
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.
