Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; hemidesmosome assembly; and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including Y cell; intestinal cell; neurons; pharynx; and somatic gonad precursor. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy and schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human RERE (arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide repeats).
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in dosage compensation by hypoactivation of X chromosome. Located in X chromosome and nuclear chromosome. Part of dosage compensation complex. Is an ortholog of human SMC4 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 4).
