SSRP1: Proteins and Enzymes

SSRP1 is a nuclear protein and a component of the FACT complex (facilitates chromatin transcription). The FACT complex is composed of the SUPT16H (FACT140) and the SSRP1 FACTp80 proteins. This complex interacts with nucleosomes and histone H2A/H2B dimers to promote nucleosome disassembly and allow transcription elongation. This protein interacts with dsDNA. The SSRP1 protein has been shown to be modified by cisplatin and may protect DNA from repair and block DNA replication. The 10D7 monoclonal antibody recognizes the human SSRP1 protein and has been shown to be useful for Western blotting.
