ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of lysine-specific demethylase KDM5C and KDM5D; This group includes KDM5C and KDM5D, both of which belong to the JARID subfamily within the JmjC proteins. KDM5C, also called histone demethylase JARID1C, Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1C, protein SmcX, or protein Xe169, is a H3K4 trimethyl-histone demethylase that catalyzes demethylation of H3K4me3 and H3K4me2 to H3K4me1. It plays a role in neuronal survival and dendrite development. KDM5C defects are associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). KDM5D, also called histocompatibility Y antigen (H-Y), histone demethylase JARID1D, Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1D, or protein SmcY, is a male-specific antigen that shows a demethylase activity specific for di- and tri-methylated histone H3K4 (H3K4me3 and H3K4me2), and has a male-specific function as a histone H3K4 demethylase by recruiting a meiosis-regulatory protein, MSH5, to condensed DNA. KDM5D directly interacts with a polycomb-like protein Ring6a/MBLR, and plays a role in regulation of transcriptional initiation through H3K4 demethylation. Both KDM5C and KDM5D contain the catalytic JmjC domain, a JmjN domain, an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), a C5HC2 zinc finger, as well as two plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers.

PHD zinc finger; The plant homeodomain (PHD) finger is a C4HC3 zinc-finger-like motif found in nuclear proteins thought to be involved in epigenetics and chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation. The PHD finger binds two zinc ions using the so-called 'cross-brace' motif and is thus structurally related to the RING finger and the FYVE finger. It is not yet known if PHD fingers have a common molecular function. Several reports suggest that it can function as a protein-protein interacton domain and it was recently demonstrated that the PHD finger of p300 can cooperate with the adjacent BROMO domain in nucleosome binding in vitro. Other reports suggesting that the PHD finger is a ubiquitin ligase have been refuted as these domains were RING fingers misidentified as PHD fingers.

This is confirmed to be a hydroxylase: the human JmjC protein named Tyw5p unexpectedly acts in the biosynthesis of a hypermodified nucleoside, hydroxy-wybutosine, in tRNA-Phe by catalysing hydroxylation.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of lysine-specific demethylase 5B (KDM5B); KDM5B, also called cancer/testis antigen 31 (CT31), histone demethylase JARID1B, Jumonji/ARID domain-containing protein 1B (JARID1B), PLU-1, or retinoblastoma-binding protein 2 homolog 1 (RBP2-H1 or RBBP2H1A), is a member of the JARID subfamily within the JmjC proteins. It has a restricted expression pattern in the testis, ovary, and transiently in the mammary gland of the pregnant female and has been shown to be upregulated in breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer, suggesting a potential role in tumorigenesis. KDM5B acts as a histone demethylase that catalyzes the removal of trimethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3), induced by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). It also mediates demethylation of H3K4me2 and H3K4me1. Moreover, KDM5B functions as a negative regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and progenitor cell activity. KDM5B has also been shown to interact with the DNA binding transcription factors BF-1 and PAX9, as well as TIEG1/KLF10 (transforming growth factor-beta inducible earlygene-1/Kruppel-like transcription factor 10), and possibly function as a transcriptional corepressor. KDM5B contains the catalytic JmjC domain, a JmjN domain, an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), a C5HC2 zinc finger, as well as three plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain; Members of the recently discovered ARID (AT-rich interaction domain) family of DNA-binding proteins are found in fungi and invertebrate and vertebrate metazoans. ARID-encoding genes are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell lineage gene regulation and cell cycle control. Although the specific roles of this domain and of ARID-containing proteins in transcriptional regulation are yet to be elucidated, they include both positive and negative transcriptional regulation and a likely involvement in the modification of chromatin structure. The basic structure of the ARID domain domain appears to be a series of six alpha-helices separated by beta-strands, loops, or turns, but the structured region may extend to an additional helix at either or both ends of the basic six. Based on primary sequence homology, they can be partitioned into three structural classes: Minimal ARID proteins that consist of a core domain formed by six alpha helices; ARID proteins that supplement the core domain with an N-terminal alpha-helix; and Extended-ARID proteins, which contain the core domain and additional alpha-helices at their N- and C-termini.

Both KDM5A and KDM5B function as trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) demethylases. KDM5C is a H3K4 trimethyl-histone demethylase that catalyzes demethylation of H3K4me3 and H3K4me2 to H3K4me1. It plays a role in neuronal survival and dendrite development. KDM5C defects are associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). KDM5D is a male-specific antigen that shows a demethylase activity specific for di- and tri-methylated histone H3K4 (H3K4me2 and H3K4me3), and has a male-specific function as a histone H3K4 demethylase by recruiting a meiosis-regulatory protein, MSH5, to condensed DNA. KDM5D directly interacts with a polycomb-like protein Ring6a/MBLR, and plays a role in regulation of transcriptional initiation through H3K4 demethylation. This family also includes Drosophila melanogaster protein little imaginal discs (Lid) that functions as a JmjC-dependent H3K4me3 demethylase, which is required for dMyc-induced cell growth. It positively regulates Hox gene expression in S2 cells. Members in this family contain the catalytic JmjC domain, JmjN, the BRIGHT domain, which is an AT-rich interacting domain (ARID), and a Cys5HisCys2 zinc finger, as well as two or three plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers. This model corresponds to the first PHD finger.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain family; The AT-rich interaction domain (ARID) family of transcription factors, found in a broad array of organisms from fungi to mammals, is characterized by a highly conserved, helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain that binds to the major groove of DNA. The ARID domain, also called BRIGHT, was first identified in the mouse B-cell-specific transcription factor Bright and in the product of the dead ringer (dri) gene of Drosophila melanogaster. ARID family members are implicated in normal development, differentiation, cell cycle regulation, transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling. Different family members exhibit different DNA-binding properties. Drosophila Dri, mammalian ARID3A/3B/3C and ARID5A/5B, selectively bind AT-rich sites. However, ARID1A/1B, Drosophila Osa, yeast SWI1, ARID2, ARID4A/4B, JARID1A/1B/1C/1D, and JARID2, bind DNA without sequence specificity.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of Arabidopsis thaliana high mobility group B proteins HMGB9, HMGB10, HMGB11, HMGB15 and similar proteins; This subfamily includes a group of conserved plant DNA-binding proteins, including HMGB9 (or ARID-HMG1), HMGB10 (or ARID-HMG2), HMGB11, and HMGB15. They have been termed ARID-HMG proteins, due to containing two DNA-binding domains, an N-terminal AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), and a C-terminal high mobility group (HMG)-box domain. They are widely expressed in Arabidopsis and localize primarily to the nucleus. HMGB9/ARID-HMG1 binds specifically to A/T-rich DNA. HMGB15 is a transcription factor predominantly expressed in mature pollen grains and pollen tubes. It may work in the form of a homodimer, or interact with HMGB9, HMGB10 and HMGB11 to form heteromultimers in plant cells. HMGB15 is required for pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis and is involved in transcriptional regulation through the interaction with AGL66 and AGL104.

PHD zinc finger; The plant homeodomain (PHD) finger is a C4HC3 zinc-finger-like motif found in nuclear proteins thought to be involved in epigenetics and chromatin-mediated transcriptional regulation. The PHD finger binds two zinc ions using the so-called 'cross-brace' motif and is thus structurally related to the RING finger and the FYVE finger. It is not yet known if PHD fingers have a common molecular function. Several reports suggest that it can function as a protein-protein interacton domain and it was recently demonstrated that the PHD finger of p300 can cooperate with the adjacent BROMO domain in nucleosome binding in vitro. Other reports suggesting that the PHD finger is a ubiquitin ligase have been refuted as these domains were RING fingers misidentified as PHD fingers.

PHD finger found in ubiquitin-like PHD and RING finger domain-containing protein UHRF1 and UHRF2; UHRF1 is a unique chromatin effector protein that integrates the recognition of both histone PTMs and DNA methylation. It is essential for cell proliferation and plays a critical role in the development and progression of many human carcinomas, such as laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), gastric cancer (GC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. UHRF1 acts as a transcriptional repressor through its binding to histone H3 when it is unmodified at Arg2. Its overexpression in human lung fibroblasts results in downregulation of expression of the tumour suppressor pRB. It also plays a role in transcriptional repression of the cell cycle regulator p21. Moreover, UHRF1-dependent repression of transcription factors can facilitate the G1-S transition. It interacts with Tat-interacting protein of 60 kDa (TIP60) and induces degradation-independent ubiquitination of TIP60. It is also an N-methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG)-interacting protein that binds MPG in a p53 status-independent manner in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway. In addition, UHRF1 functions as an epigenetic regulator that is important for multiple aspects of epigenetic regulation, including maintenance of DNA methylation patterns and recognition of various histone modifications. UHRF2 was originally identified as a ubiquitin ligase acting as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E3 ligase that enhances zinc finger protein 131 (ZNF131) SUMOylation but does not enhance ZNF131 ubiquitination. It also ubiquitinates PCNP, a PEST-containing nuclear protein. Moreover, UHRF2 functions as a nuclear protein involved in cell-cycle regulation and has been implicated in tumorigenesis. It interacts with cyclins, CDKs, p53, pRB, PCNA, HDAC1, DNMTs, G9a, methylated histone H3 lysine 9, and methylated DNA. It interacts with the cyclin E-CDK2 complex, ubiquitinates cyclins D1 and E1, induces G1 arrest, and is involved in the G1/S transition regulation. Furthermore, UHRF2 is a direct transcriptional target of the transcription factor E2F-1 in the induction of apoptosis. It recruits HDAC1 and binds to methyl-CpG. UHRF2 also participates in the maturation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) by interacting with the HBV core protein and promoting its degradation. Both UHRF1 and UHRF2 contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (UBL), a tandem Tudor domain (TTD), a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, a SET- and RING-associated (SRA) domain, and a C-terminal RING finger.

It acts as a tumor suppressor that promotes the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta cytostatic program through selective release of TGIF-driven promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) inactivation. PHRF1 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger and a RING finger.

PHD finger 2 found in d4 gene family proteins; The family includes proteins coded by three members of the d4 gene family, DPF1 (neuro-d4), DPF2 (ubi-d4/Requiem), and DPF3 (cer-d4), which function as transcription factors and are involved in transcriptional regulation of genes by changing the condensed/decondensed state of chromatin in the nucleus. DPF2 is ubiquitously expressed and it acts as a transcription factor that may participate in developmentally programmed cell death. DPF1 and DPF3 are expressed predominantly in neural tissues, and they may be involved in the transcription regulation of neuro-specific gene clusters. The d4 family proteins show distinct domain organization with domain 2/3 in the N-terminal region, a Cys2His2 (C2H2) zinc finger or Kruppel-type zinc finger in the central part and two adjacent plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers (d4-domain) in the C-terminal part of the molecule. This model corresponds to the second PHD finger.

PHD finger 2 found in Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C) and 2D (KMT2D); KMT2C, also termed myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 3 (MLL3) or homologous to ALR protein, is a histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) lysine methyltransferase that functions as a circadian factor contributing to genome-scale circadian transcription. It is a component of a large complex that acts as a coactivator of multiple transcription factors, including the bile acid (BA)-activated nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a critical player in BA homeostasis. The MLL3 complex is essential for p53 transactivation of small heterodimer partner (SHP). KMT2C is also a part of activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2)-containing complex (ASCOM) that contains the transcriptional coactivator nuclear receptor coactivator 6 (NCOA6), KMT2C and its paralog MLL4. The ASCOM complex is critical for nuclear receptor (NR) activation of bile acid transporter genes and is down regulated in cholestasis. KMT2D, also termed ALL1-related protein (ALR), is encoded by the gene that was named MLL4, a fourth human homolog of Drosophila trithorax, located on chromosome 12. It enzymatically generates trimethylated histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3). It plays an essential role in differentiating the human pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cell line NTERA-2 clone D1 (NT2/D1) stem cells by activating differentiation-specific genes, such as HOXA1-3 and NESTIN. KMT2D is also a part of ASCOM. Both KMT2C and KMT2D contain the catalytic domain SET, five plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, two extended PHD (ePHD) fingers, Cys2HisCys5HisCys2His, a RING finger, an HMG (high-mobilitygroup)-binding motif, and two FY-rich regions. This model corresponds to the second PHD finger.

It is essential for prevention of autoimmunity. AIRE plays a critical role in the induction of central tolerance. It promotes self-tolerance through tissue-specific antigen (TSA) expression. It also acts as an active regulator of chondrocyte differentiation. AIRE contains a homogeneously-staining region (HSR) or caspase-recruitment domain (CARD), a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a SAND (for Sp100, AIRE, nuclear phosphoprotein 41/75 or NucP41/75, and deformed epidermal auto regulatory factor 1 or Deaf1) domain, two plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers, and four LXXLL (where L stands for leucine) motifs. This model corresponds to the first PHD finger that recognizes the unmethylated tail of histone H3 and targets AIRE-dependent genes.

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).

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.

This subfamily also includes Schizosaccharomyces pombe SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex subunit sol1 (sol1p, also known as switch one-like protein). sol1p is a homolog of S. cerevisiae Swi1p and is also a part of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 3A (ARID3A) and similar proteins; ARID3A, also called B-cell regulator of IgH transcription (Bright), dead ringer-like protein 1 (Dril1), or E2F-binding protein 1 (E2FBP1), is an ubiquitously expressed DNA-binding protein that has been implicated in embryonic patterning, cell lineage gene regulation, and cell cycle control, chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. It was originally identified as a B cell-specific trans-activator of immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) transcription, which increases immunoglobulin transcription in antigen-activated B cells and plays regulatory roles in hematopoiesis. It also functions as an E2F transcription regulator, inducing promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) reduction and suppressing the formation of PML-nuclear bodies. It antagonizes the p16(INK4A)-Rb tumor suppressor machinery by regulating PML stability. ARID3A transcriptional activity can be modulated by SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-related Modifier) modification through the interaction with the SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ubc9. ARID3A also plays an important role in marginal zone B lymphocyte development and autoantibody production. Furthermore, ARID3A is a direct p53 target gene. It controls cell growth in a p53-dependent manner. ARID3A contains an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), a SUMO-I conjugation (SUMO) motif and a multifunctional homomerization/nuclear export REKLES domain, which consists of two subdomains: a modestly conserved N-terminal REKLES alpha and a highly conserved (among ARID3 orthologous proteins) C-terminal REKLES beta.
