Function
E3 SUMO-protein ligase that catalyzes sumoylation of target proteins by promoting the transfer of SUMO from the E2 enzyme to the substrate (PubMed:12679040, PubMed:22467880, PubMed:22825850). Also acts as a histone reader, which specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, respectively) via its chromo domain (By similarity). Catalyzes sumoylation of HNRNPK, a p53/TP53 transcriptional coactivator, hence indirectly regulates p53/TP53 transcriptional activation resulting in p21/CDKN1A expression (PubMed:22825850). Acts as a regulator of brown adipocyte differentiation by mediating sumoylation of PRDM16, thereby preventing PRDM16 ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Monosumoylates ZNF131 (PubMed:22467880). Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed:12167701, PubMed:19636380, PubMed:21282530). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed:12167701, PubMed:19636380, PubMed:21282530). Plays a role in the lineage differentiation of the germ layers in embryonic development (By similarity)
