Gene Snapshot
Suppressor of Under-Replication (SuUR) encodes a chromatin binding protein involved in heterochromatin assembly and regulation of the DNA endoreduplication. [Date last reviewed: 2019-09-19]
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Required for underreplication of DNA, which is found in many late replicating euchromatic regions of salivary gland polytene chromosomes (PubMed:11901119, PubMed:12456726, PubMed:30277458). Functions by promoting the localization and retention of Rif1 to active DNA replication forks where Rif1 inhibits replication fork progression (PubMed:30277458). Controls chromatin organization in polytene chromosomes (PubMed:12456726).
(UniProt, Q9VTE2)
Summary (Interactive Fly)

SNF2-domain protein - inhibits replication fork progression to promote DNA underreplication - binds to H1 which is required for SuUR binding to chromatin in vivo - interacts with Rif1 which has a direct role in copy number control

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

          DNA-protein interactions: genome-wide binding profile assayed for SuUR protein in Kc167 cells; see Chromatin_types_NKI collection report. Individual protein-binding experiments listed under "Samples" at GEO_GSE22069 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE22069).

          Homozygous SuUR mutants and flies carrying additional copies of SuUR+ do not show changes in developmental time.

          Flies carrying four doses of SuUR+ show a considerable increase in ectopic conjugation in the polytene chromosomes compared to wild-type flies. Both the proportion of regions participating in conjugation and the number of chromosomes with numerous contact nodes are increased. As a result, chromosomes become twisted and wound and contain many loops or nodes. The number of weak points is increased compared to wild type.

          Mutation in SuUR suppresses DNA underreplication in intercalary and pericentric heterochromatin of polytene chromosomes.

          The In(1)scV2 chromosome exhibits alterations of polytene chromosome morphology: suppression of heterochromatin underreplication by the restoration of DNA polytenization.
