    text
  • nuclear ARID1A is less stable than cytoplasmic ARID1A because ARID1A is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • actin dependent regulator of chromatin structure, acting as a tumor suppressor
  • involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration
  • of DNA-nucleosome topology)
  • playing an essential role for normal cell cycle arrest
  • necessary facilitator of BRG1-mediated chromatin remodeling required for SWI/SNF-dependent transcriptional activation
  • key component of the gene regulatory machinery in ES cells controlling self-renewal, differentiation, and cell lineage decisions
  • implicated in the cross talk of histone modifications
  • plays an important role in early development
  • coactivator for the glucocorticoid receptor and an essential gene for FAS-mediated apoptosis
  • Trithorax g protein functioning as an E3 ubiquitin ligase adapter for histone H2BK120 and having important implications for chromatin remodeling by SWI/SNF and H2B monoubiquitination, an upstream event of H3K4 trimethylation associated with gene activation
  • functioning as a tumor-suppressor gene
  • can bind to AT-rich DNA sequences and is a component of the adenosine triphosphate-dependent chromatin modeling complex switch/sucrose-nonfermentable (SWI/SNF)
  • may be a candidate tumor-suppressor genes (TSGs) in breast cancer
  • tumor suppressor that collaborates with TP53 to regulate CDKN1A and SMAD3 transcription and tumor growth in gynecologic cancers
  • regulates cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) differentiation by modeling the chromatin accessibility at a subset of key genes essential for cardiogenesis
  • is a nucleocytoplasmic protein whose stability depends on its subcellular localization
  • tumor suppressor gene involved in chromatin remodelling
  • specific requirement of the PI3K/AKT pathway in ARID1A-deficient tumors, revealing a synthetic lethal interaction between loss of ARID1A expression and inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • unique and defining subunit of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex with the potential to facilitate chromosome alterations critical during development
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • promotes the formation of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes containing SMARCA4 or SMARCA2
  • CDKN1A (encoding p21) acted in part to mediate growth suppression by ARID1A
  • regulates gene expression by binding selectively to its target gene promoters and recruiting SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, to modulate chromatin accessibility
  • ARID1A-DNA interactions are required for promoter occupancy by SWI/SNF
  • ARID1A positively regulates KLF15 expression with PGR to inhibit epithelial proliferation at peri-implantation
  • mechanistically, TNPO1 is selectively responsible for nuclear import of ARID1B, which is a synthetic lethal target in ARID1A-inactivating mutation cancers

  • BAF250a-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells have been characterized and found to exhibit defects in self-renewal capacity and increased differentiation
  • Baf250a ablation in mouse second heart field (SHF) led to trabeculation defects in the right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, persistent truncus arteriosus, reduced myocardial proliferation, and embryonic lethality
  • disruption of Arid1a-DNA binding in mice results in embryonic lethality, with mutant embryos manifesting prominent defects in the heart and extraembryonic vasculature
