nucleus | the enzyme SENP2 is targeted to kinetochores in mitosis. SENP2 targeting occurs through a mechanism dependent on the Nup107-160 subcomplex of the nuclear pore complex and is modulated through interactions with karyopherin alpha | Homo sapiens | 5634 | - |

malfunction | RNA interference SENP2 knockdown produces no detectable phenotypes, while overexpression of SENP2, but not other SUMO-specific isopeptidases, causes a defect in chromosome congression that depends on its precise kinetochore targeting. Isozyme SENP2 overexpression uniquely induces prometaphase arrest | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | enzyme SENP2 is an important mediator of precise spatial and temporal control of sumoylation in mitosis required for chromosome segregation | Homo sapiens |
