Summary
NCAPD3 (non-SMC condensin II complex subunit D3, HGNC:28952) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q25, encoding Condensin-2 complex subunit D3 (P42695). Regulatory subunit of the condensin-2 complex, a complex which establishes mitotic chromosome architecture and is involved in physical rigidity of the chromatid axis. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 81.3% of cell lines).
Condensin complexes I and II play essential roles in mitotic chromosome assembly and segregation. Both condensins contain 2 invariant structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) subunits, SMC2 (MIM 605576) and SMC4 (MIM 605575), but they contain different sets of non-SMC subunits. NCAPD3 is 1 of 3 non-SMC subunits that define condensin II (Ono et al., 2003 [PubMed 14532007]).

- hCAP-D3 is a new biomarker for subtype-1 prostate tumors that improves prognostication. (PMID:18223322)
- We show here that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which interacts with condensin II but not condensin I, plays an essential role in targeting condensin II to chromosomes. (PMID:19915589)
- The initial phase of chromosome condensation requires Cdk1-mediated phosphorylation of the CAP-D3 subunit of condensin II. (PMID:21498573)
- CAP-D3 down-regulates transcription of genes that encode amino acid transporters (SLC7A5 and SLC3A2) to promote bacterial autophagy by colon epithelial cells. (PMID:25701737)
- Condensin II(CAP-D3 and CAP-H2) and GAIT subunits associate with L1 RNA in a co-dependent manner, independent of IFN-gamma. These findings suggest that cooperation between the Condensin II and GAIT complexes may facilitate a novel mechanism of L1 repression, thus contributing to the maintenance of genome stability in somatic cells (PMID:29028794)
- NCAPD2 and NCAPD3 expression levels have been confirmed to be significantly up-regulated in the intestinal mucosa of patients with active ulcerative colitis. In vitro, the data suggested that silencing NACPD2 and NACPD3 could depress the expression of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Further, knockdown of NACPD2 and NACPD3 could remarkably suppress IKK nucleation and NF-kappaB volume. (PMID:31885422)

Function. Regulatory subunit of the condensin-2 complex, a complex which establishes mitotic chromosome architecture and is involved in physical rigidity of the chromatid axis. 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. Specifically required for decatenation of 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-2 complex, which contains the SMC2 and SMC4 heterodimer, and 3 non SMC subunits that probably regulate the complex: NCAPH2, NCAPD3 and NCAPG2. Interacts with BRD4 (isoform B), leading to insulate chromatin from DNA damage response pathway.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly 22, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH22) [MIM:617984] 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
