Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11408570, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25931565}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CG46}. Nucleus, PML body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17589526}. Chromosome, telomere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17589526}. Note=Associates with chromatin (PubMed:25931565). Colocalizes with SMC6 on the X-Y chromosome pair within the sex vesicle during late pachytene/diplotene (By similarity). Localizes to PML nuclear bodies in ALT cell lines (PubMed:17589526). Accumulates with RAD18 and the SLF1-SLF2 complex at replication-coupled DNA interstrand repair and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites on chromatin in a ubiquitin-dependent manner (PubMed:25931565). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CG46, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25931565}.
