DNA-binding component of a FANCM-MHF complex involved in DNA damage repair and genome maintenance (PubMed:20347428). FANCM-MHF promotes gene conversion at blocked replication forks, probably by reversal of the stalled fork (By similarity). Component of the kinetochore, a multiprotein complex that assembles on centromeric DNA and attaches chromosomes to spindle microtubules, mediating chromosome segregation and sister chromatid segregation during meiosis and mitosis. Component of the inner kinetochore constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN), which serves as a structural platform for outer kinetochore assembly (PubMed:22561346). The MHF histone-fold complex is a heterotetramer of 2 MHF1-MHF2 heterodimers. Together with MPH1/FANCM, forms the FANCM-MHF complex (PubMed:22325783). Component of the inner kinetochore constitutive centromere-associated network (CCAN) (also known as central kinetochore CTF19 complex in yeast), which is composed of at least AME1, CHL4, CNN1, CTF3, CTF19, IML3, MCM16, MCM21, MCM22, MHF1, MHF2, MIF2, NKP1, NKP2, OKP1 and WIP1 (Probable). Belongs to the CENP-X/MHF2 family.
