DMAP1

DNA methyltransferase 1-associated protein 1 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DMAP1 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a subunit of several, distinct complexes involved in the repression or activation of transcription. The encoded protein can independently repress transcription and is targeted to replication foci throughout S phase by interacting directly with the N-terminus of DNA methyltransferase 1. During late S phase, histone deacetylase 2 is added to this complex, providing a means to deacetylate histones in transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin following replication. The encoded protein is also a component of the nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4 complex and interacts with the transcriptional corepressor tumor susceptibility gene 101 and the pro-apoptotic death-associated protein 6, among others. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.

 * is_associated_with::C19orf2,
 * is_associated_with::DNMT1,
 * is_associated_with::ING1, and
