[Encoded by human DSS1 Gene (DSS1/SEM1 Family), 70-amino acid 8 kD DSS1 Protein is a highly conserved acidic protein predominantly expressed in limb bud, craniofacial primordia, and skin. A human homolog of the highly conserved cytosolic SEM1 (S. cerevisiae), DSS1 may be involved in completion of the cell cycle or in a differentiation process. Containing three oligonucleotide-binding folds and a helix-turn-helix motif, DSS1 Protein directly interacts with a 90 kD C-terminal domain of BRCA2 that binds single-stranded DNA.
