DAXX

Cancer-related genes, Human disease related genes

Intracellular

Cell type enhanced (Rod photoreceptor cells)

Low immune cell specificity

Low cell line specificity

Homomultimer. Interacts (via C-terminus) with TNFRSF6 (via death domain). Interacts with PAX5, SLC2A4/GLUT4, MAP3K5, TGFBR2, phosphorylated dimeric HSPB1/HSP27, CENPC, ETS1, sumoylated PML, UBE2I, MCRS1 and TP53. Interacts (via N-terminus) with HIPK2 and HIPK3. Interacts with HIPK1, which induces translocation from PML/POD/ND10 nuclear bodies to chromatin and enhances association with HDAC1. Interacts (non-phosphorylated) with PAX3, PAX7, DEK, HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, acetylated histone H4 and histones H2A, H2B, H3, H3.3 and H4. Interacts with SPOP; mediating CUL3-dependent proteosomal degradation. Interacts with CBP; the interaction is dependent the sumoylation of CBP and suppresses CBP transcriptional activity via recruitment of HDAC2 directly in the complex with TP53 and HIPK2. Interacts with AXIN1; the interaction stimulates the interaction of DAXX with TP53, stimulates 'Ser-46' phosphorylation of TP53 on and induces cell death on UV irradiation. Interacts with MDM2; the interaction is direct. Interacts with USP7; the interaction is direct and independent of MDM2 and TP53. Part of a complex with DAXX, MDM2 and USP7 under non-stress conditions. Interacts (via N-terminus) with RASSF1 (via C-terminus); the interaction is independent of MDM2 and TP53; RASSF1 isoform A disrupts interactions among MDM2, DAXX and USP7, thus contributing to the efficient activation of TP53 by promoting MDM2 self-ubiquitination in cell-cycle checkpoint control in response to DNA damage. Interacts with ATRX to form the chromatin remodeling complex ATRX:DAXX. Interacts with HSF1 (via homotrimeric form preferentially); this interaction relieves homotrimeric HSF1 from repression of its transcriptional activity by HSP90-dependent multichaperone complex upon heat shock (PubMed:15016915). Interacts with SUMO1P1/SUMO5 (PubMed:27211601). (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus/HHV-5 tegument phosphoprotein pp71 and protein UL123. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus protein BNRF1. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human adenovirus 5 E1B-55K protein; this interaction might alterate the normal interactions of DAXX, PML, and TP53, which may contribute to cell transformation. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Puumala hantavirus nucleoprotein.
