ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing proteins ARID5A, ARID5B, and similar proteins This subfamily contains ARID5A and its paralog ARID5B. ARID5A, also called modulator recognition factor 1 (MRF-1), is an estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-interacting protein that is expressed abundantly in cardiovascular tissues and suppresses ER alpha-induced transactivation. It also plays an important role in the promotion of inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. 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. 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. Both ARID5A and ARID5B contain an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT).
