Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583028}. Chromosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6PR54}. Chromosome, telomere {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15342490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583028}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583028}. Note=Following interaction with TP53BP1, recruited to sites of DNA damage, such as DSBs (By similarity). Exhibits ATM- and TP53BP1-dependent localization to uncapped or aberrant telomeres and to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) (PubMed:15342490). Does not associate with normal telomere structures (PubMed:15342490, PubMed:15583028). Localizes to microtubules of the midzone of the mitotic spindle during anaphase, and to condensed chromosomes in telophase (PubMed:15583028). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6PR54, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15342490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583028}.
