ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 5B (ARID5B) and similar proteins ARID5B, also called MRF1-like protein or modulator recognition factor 2 (MRF-2), is a DNA-binding protein that directly interacts with plant homeodomain (PHD) finger 2 (PHF2) to form a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent PHF2-ARID5B histone H3K9Me2 demethylase complex, which is a signal-sensing modulator of histone methylation and gene transcription. It also functions as a transcriptional co-regulator for the transcription factor sex determining region Y (SRY)-box protein 9 (Sox9) and promotes chondrogenesis through histone modification. Moreover, ARID5B is highly expressed in the cardiovascular system and may play essential roles in the phenotypic change of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) through its regulation of SMC differentiation. Its polymorphism has been associated with risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ARID5B contains an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), which can bind both the major and minor grooves of its target sequences. |
