Has both helicase and E3 ubiquitin ligase activities. Possesses intrinsic ATP-dependent nucleosome-remodeling activity. This activity may be required for transcriptional activation or repression of specific target promoters (By similarity). These may include the SERPINE1, to which this protein can bind directly. Plays a role in error-free postreplication repair (PRR) of damaged DNA and maintains genomic stability through acting as a ubiquitin ligase for 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of chromatin-bound PCNA (By similarity). S-ubiquitinyl-[E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + [acceptor protein]-L-lysine = [E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme]-L-cysteine + N(6)-ubiquitinyl-[acceptor protein]-L-lysine. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. Interacts with SP1 and SP3 independently of DNA; the interaction with these transcriptional factors may be required for basal transcription of target genes. Interacts with EGR1; the interaction requires prior binding to DNA and represses c-Rel via a DNA looping mechanism. Interacts with GATA4. Interacts with PCNA; the interaction promotes polyubiquitination of PCNA through association with the UBE2B-RAD18 and UBE2V2-UBE2N ubiquitin ligase complexes. Interacts with RAD18, SHPRH, UBE2V2 and UBE2N (By similarity). Nuclear localization is stimulated by progesterone. Expressed in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, placenta and skeletal muscle. Expressed in the heart from 11.5 dpc. Gradually increases in skeletal muscle to 18.5 dpc. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. RAD16 subfamily. Intron retention.
