Background
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly(PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the peri chromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly . Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the peri chromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface . Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility . Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA . Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization . It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).
