Structure specific recognition protein 1 (SSRP1) is a subunit of a heterodimer that, along with SUPT16H, forms chromatin transcriptional elongation factor FACT.
FACT interacts specifically with histones H2A/H2B to effect nucleosome disassembly and transcription elongation.
FACT and cisplatin-damaged DNA may be crucial to the anticancer mechanism of cisplatin.
When a transcribing RNA polymerase II approaches, FACT promotes disruption of the histone octamer by binding and removing 1 or both histone H2A/H2B dimers.
This protein contains a high mobility group box which most likely constitutes the structure recognition element for cisplatin-modified DNA.
This protein also functions as a co-activator of the transcriptional activator p63.
