  1. these data define a novel molecular mechanism underlying the assembly of CENP-T onto the centromere by a temporally regulated HJURP-CENP-T interaction.
    Title: Holliday junction recognition protein interacts with and specifies the centromeric assembly of CENP-T.
  2. H3.3 chaperones HIRA and DAXX promote ectopic CENP-A deposition.
    Title: HJURP antagonizes CENP-A mislocalization driven by the H3.3 chaperones HIRA and DAXX.
  3. HJURP expression was higher in HCC tissues than in para-tumor tissues. Moreover, ectopic HJURP expression facilitated the proliferation of HCC cells, whereas the depletion of HJURP resulted in decreased cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the effects of HJURP silencing were reversed by p21 knockdown.
    Title: HJURP promotes hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation by destabilizing p21 via the MAPK/ERK1/2 and AKT/GSK3β signaling pathways.

  6. Functional p53 elicits a cell cycle arrest response, whereas, in p53-null transformed cells, the absence of arrest enables the loss of HJURP to induce severe aneuploidy and, ultimately, apoptotic cell death

  7. An increased occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma was consistently associated with A/C or C/C genotypes of the non-synonymous SNP rs3771333 compared with the A/A genotype in both the Fusui and Haimen populations.

  8. Authors propose that this centromere expansion activity reflects the functional properties of HJURP, which uses this activity to contribute to the plastic establishment of a centromeric chromatin structure.
    Title: HJURP is involved in the expansion of centromeric chromatin.
  9. 3 biomarkers in 44 patients with in situ breast cancers were evaluated: TG2 (transglutaminase 2), HJURP (Holliday junction recognition protein), and HIF-1alpha (hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha).
    Title: New biomarkers to predict the evolution of in situ breast cancers.
  10. On the basis of our findings, we propose that HJURP serves a dual chaperone function in coordinating CenH3(CENP-A) and CENP-C recruitment.

NCBI Reference Sequences (RefSeq)

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
