Also known as IKBR
Summary
TONSL (tonsoku like, DNA repair protein, HGNC:7801) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q24.3, encoding Tonsoku-like protein (Q96HA7). Component of the MMS22L-TONSL complex, a complex that promotes homologous recombination-mediated repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) at stalled or collapsed replication forks. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.7% of cancer cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a negative regulator of NF-kappa-B mediated transcription. The encoded protein may bind NF-kappa-B complexes and trap them in the cytoplasm, preventing them from entering the nucleus and interacting with the DNA. Phosphorylation of this protein targets it for degradation by the ubiquitination pathway, which frees the NF-kappa-B complexes to enter the nucleus.

Function. Component of the MMS22L-TONSL complex, a complex that promotes homologous recombination-mediated repair of double-strand breaks (DSBs) at stalled or collapsed replication forks. The MMS22L-TONSL complex is required to maintain genome integrity during DNA replication. It mediates the assembly of RAD51 filaments on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA): the MMS22L-TONSL complex is recruited to DSBs following histone replacement by histone chaperones and eviction of the replication protein A complex (RPA/RP-A) from DSBs. Following recruitment to DSBs, the TONSL-MMS22L complex promotes recruitment of RAD51 filaments and subsequent homologous recombination. Within the complex, TONSL acts as a histone reader, which recognizes and binds newly synthesized histones following their replacement by histone chaperones. Specifically binds histone H4 lacking methylation at ‘Lys-20’ (H4K20me0) and histone H3.1.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the MMS22L-TONSL complex, a complex at least composed of MMS22L and TONSL/NFKBIL2. Interacts with the MCM complex, the FACT complex and the RPA complex. Interacts with MCM5; the interaction is direct. Binds histones, with a strong preference for histone H3.1 (histones H3.1 and H3-4/H3.1t). Interacts (via ANK repeats) with histone H4; specifically binds histone H4 lacking methylation at ‘Lys-20’ (H4K20me0). May interact with DNAJC9; the interaction seems to be histone-dependent.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle and tracheal epithelial cells.
Disease relevance. Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, sponastrime type (SEMDSP) [MIM:271510] An autosomal recessive bone disease characterized by spine abnormalities, mid-face hypoplasia with a depressed nasal bridge, and striation of the metaphyses. Additional features include disproportionate short stature with exaggerated lumbar lordosis, scoliosis, coxa vara, limited elbow extension, small dysplastic epiphyses, childhood cataracts, short dental roots, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Disease severity and clinical manifestations are variable. Some patients have intellectual disability. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The ANK repeats mediate the interaction with the MCM complex and histones, while the LRR repeats mediate the interaction with MMS22L.
Similarity. Belongs to the Tonsoku family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 88 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.
