Superfamily: ASAP complex, SAP18 subunit

This superfamily includes of several eukaryotic Sin3 associated polypeptide p18 (SAP18) sequences. SAP18 is known to be a component of the Sin3-containing complex which is responsible for the repression of transcription via the modification of histone polypeptides PMID:9150135. SAP18 [UBL domain] is one of the three three ASAP subunits (along with Acinus [beta-hairpin motif] and RNPS1 [RRM domain]) that play a role in programmed cell death, transcriptional regulation, pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA quality control PMID:12665594,PMID:22388736. The ASAP complex interacts with the exon-junction complex (EJC), a messenger ribonucleoprotein complex involved in post-transcriptional regulation.

According to literature, the high degree of evolutionary conservation and the fortuitous crystal contacts at the alpha-beta groove suggest that this surface of SAP18 is a hot spot for interactions. Possible binding partners targeting this surface of SAP18 are transcription factors (such as Bicoid and Kruppel) and/or Sin3a-HDAC subunits.
