== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SPB10_CHICK SPB10_CHICK] DNA-binding protein that promotes DNA condensation into transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin in terminally differentiated avian blood cells. Promotes tight packing of nucleosomes into spherical clusters by binding to linker DNA and subsequent oligomerization. Acts as a cysteine protease inhibitor towards CTSL (cathepsin L1) and CTSV (cathepsin L2), but does not inhibit serine proteases.<ref>PMID:10026180</ref> <ref>PMID:11821386</ref> <ref>PMID:12930828</ref> <ref>PMID:16810322</ref> <ref>PMID:9446625</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Most serpins are associated with protease inhibition, and their ability to form loop-sheet polymers is linked to conformational disease and the human serpinopathies. Here we describe the structural and functional dissection of how a unique serpin, the non-histone architectural protein, MENT (Myeloid and Erythroid Nuclear Termination stage-specific protein), participates in DNA and chromatin condensation. Our data suggest that MENT contains at least two distinct DNA-binding sites, consistent with its simultaneous binding to the two closely juxtaposed linker DNA segments on a nucleosome. Remarkably, our studies suggest that the reactive centre loop, a region of the MENT molecule essential for chromatin bridging in vivo and in vitro, is able to mediate formation of a loop-sheet oligomer. These data provide mechanistic insight into chromatin compaction by a non-histone architectural protein and suggest how the structural plasticity of serpins has adapted to mediate physiological, rather than pathogenic, loop-sheet linkages.
