Associated with pericentric heterochromatin and telomeric heterochromatin regions (PubMed:18337721, PubMed:27043296). Localizes to DNA damage sites: directly recognizes and binds double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites via a tunnel-like structure that has high affinity for DSBs (PubMed:21680843, PubMed:23911928, PubMed:27568560, PubMed:31995034, PubMed:32538779). A fraction localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:23552949). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18337721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21680843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23552949, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23911928, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27043296, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27568560, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31995034, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32538779}.
