NCIt definition : E3 SUMO-protein ligase CBX4 (558 aa, 61 kDa) is encoded by the human CBX4 gene. This
soluble, nuclear protein plays a role in repressing the expression of genes through
SUMOylation of lysine 119 of histone H2A.;
NCIt note : Functions together with UBE2I ubiquitin conjugating enzyme, which together with CBX4,
are components of the PRC1 complex. UBE2I is essential for nuclear architecture and
chromosome segregation.;
