Summary
ERCC6L (ERCC excision repair 6 like, spindle assembly checkpoint helicase, HGNC:20794) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xq13.1, encoding DNA excision repair protein ERCC-6-like (Q2NKX8). DNA helicase that acts as a tension sensor that associates with catenated DNA which is stretched under tension until it is resolved during anaphase. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 11.5% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a member of the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF2) family of proteins, and contains a SNF2-like ATPase domain and a PICH family domain. One distinguishing feature of this SWI/SNF protein family member is that during interphase, the protein is excluded from the nucleus, and only associates with chromatin after the nuclear envelope has broken down. This protein is a DNA translocase that is thought to bind double-stranded DNA that is exposed to stretching forces, such as those exerted by the mitotic spindle. This protein associates with ribosomal DNA and ultra-fine DNA bridges (UFBs), fine structures that connect sister chromatids during anaphase at some sites such as fragile sites, telomeres and centromeres. This gene is required for the faithful segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis, and the ATPase activity of this protein required for the resolution of UFBs before cytokinesis.

Function. DNA helicase that acts as a tension sensor that associates with catenated DNA which is stretched under tension until it is resolved during anaphase. Functions as ATP-dependent DNA translocase. Can promote Holliday junction branch migration (in vitro).
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PLK1, which phosphorylates it. Both proteins are mutually dependent on each other for correct subcellular localization. Interacts (via N-terminal TPR repeat) with BEND3 (via BEN domains 1 and 3); the interaction is direct.
Subcellular location. Chromosome. Centromere. Kinetochore.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation by PLK1 prevents the association with chromosome arms and restricts its localization to the kinetochore-centromere region.
Similarity. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 117 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
