High impact information on ECO1

 

Biological context of ECO1

 

Associations of ECO1 with chemical compounds

  • We found a two-domain architecture with an N-terminal C2H2 Zn finger-like domain and an approximately 150 residue C-terminal domain with an apparent acetyl coenzyme A binding motif (http://mendel.imp.univie.ac.at/SEQUENCES/ECO1/) [7].
  • Interestingly, in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the eso1(+) encoded protein is comprised of two domains, wherein the NH(2) terminus is highly homologous to Poleta, and the COOH terminus is highly homologous to the S. cerevisiae Ctf7 protein which is essential for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during S phase [9].
  • In this report, we identify and characterize the first candidate human ortholog of Ctf7p/Eco1p, which we term hEFO1p (human Establishment Factor Ortholog) [10].
 

Other interactions of ECO1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ECO1

  • Mps3p was identified as interacting with Ctf7p from a genome-wide two-hybrid screen, and the physical interaction was confirmed by both in vivo (co-immunoprecipitation) and in vitro (GST pull-down) assays [6].
