ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 2 (ARID2) and similar proteins ARID2, also called BRG1-associated factor 200 (BAF200) or zinc finger protein with activation potential (Zipzap/p200), is a novel serum response factor (SRF)-binding protein with multiple conserved domains, including an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), RFX DNA-binding domain, a glutamine-rich domain, and two C2H2 zinc fingers. It binds DNA without sequence specificity. ARID2 is an intrinsic subunit of PBAF (SWI/SNF-B) remodeling complex, which needs ARID2 to play an essential role in promoting osteoblast differentiation, maintaining cellular identity and activating tissue-specific gene expression. Moreover, ARID2 may function as a tumor suppressor in many cancers. It may also serve as a transcription co-activator for the regulation of cardiac gene expression, and is required for heart morphogenesis and coronary artery development. |
