Summary
NCAPD2 (non-SMC condensin I complex subunit D2, HGNC:24305) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.31, encoding Condensin complex subunit 1 (Q15021). Regulatory subunit of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.3% of cancer cell lines).
Enables histone binding activity. Involved in mitotic chromosome condensation and positive regulation of chromosome condensation. Located in several cellular components, including condensed chromosome; microtubule organizing center; and nuclear lumen. Part of condensin complex. Implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 21.

- The authors propose that histone H3 threonine 118 phosphorylation via Aurora-A alters the chromatin structure during specific phases of mitosis to promote timely condensin I and cohesin disassociation, which is essential for effective chromosome segregation. (PMID:26878753)
- this is the second report of primary microcephaly due to a pathogenic variant at the NCAPD2 gene. We found two affected siblings who carried a splice-site pathogenic variant (c.3477+2T>C). Our finding provided accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling to the family. (PMID:31056748)

Function. Regulatory subunit of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. The condensin complex probably introduces positive supercoils into relaxed DNA in the presence of type I topoisomerases and converts nicked DNA into positive knotted forms in the presence of type II topoisomerases. May target the condensin complex to DNA via its C-terminal domain. May promote the resolution of double-strand DNA catenanes (intertwines) between sister chromatids. Condensin-mediated compaction likely increases tension in catenated sister chromatids, providing directionality for type II topoisomerase-mediated strand exchanges toward chromatid decatenation. Required for decatenation of non-centromeric ultrafine DNA bridges during anaphase. Early in neurogenesis, may play an essential role to ensure accurate mitotic chromosome condensation in neuron stem cells, ultimately affecting neuron pool and cortex size.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the condensin complex, which contains the SMC2 and SMC4 heterodimer, and three non SMC subunits that probably regulate the complex: NCAPH/BRRN1, NCAPD2/CAPD2 and NCAPG. Interacts with histones H1 and H3.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Chromosome.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by CDK1. Its phosphorylation, as well as that of NCAPH and NCAPG subunits, activates the condensin complex and is required for chromosome condensation.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly 21, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH21) [MIM:617983] A form of microcephaly, a disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age, sex and ethnically matched mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. MCPH21 features include mild intellectual disability, intrauterine growth retardation, short stature, and microcephaly. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The C-terminal domain interacts with histones H1 and H3, and may be responsible for condensin complex targeting to mitotic chromosomes. This domain is independent from the bipartite nuclear localization signal, although they are contained within the same region.
Similarity. Belongs to the CND1 (condensin subunit 1) family.
