Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; chromatin binding activity; and nucleosome array spacer activity. Involved in mitotic recombination. Acts upstream of or within error-free translesion synthesis. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 4. Orthologous to human HELLS (helicase, lymphoid specific).
SGD Description
Putative ATPase containing the DEAD/H helicase-related sequence motif; null mutant displays increased levels of spontaneous Rad52p foci; SWAT-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the nucleus
