Death domain-associated protein 6 (DAXX)

Transcription corepressor proven to repress transcriptional potential of several sumoylated transcription factors. Down-regulates basal and activated transcription.

Its transcription repressor activity is modulated by recruiting it to subnuclear compartments like the nucleolus or PML/POD/ND10 nuclear bodies through interactions with MCSR1 and PML, respectively. Appears to regulate transcription in PML/POD/ND10 atomic bodies together with PML and may affect TNFRSF6-dependent apoptosis thereby.
