ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 5A (ARID5A) and similar proteins 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 associates with thyroid receptor alpha (TR alpha) and retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) in a ligand-dependent manner, and with ER beta, androgen receptor (AR), and the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) in a ligand-independent manner. ARID5A functions as a negative regulator of RORgamma-induced Th17 cell differentiation and may be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Moreover, it is an important transcriptional partner of the transcription factor sex determining region Y (SRY)-box protein 9 (Sox9) in stimulation of chondrocyte-specific transcription. Meanwhile, ARID5A plays an important role in promotion of inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. It works as a unique RNA binding protein, which stabilizes interleukin-6 (IL-6) but not tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA through binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of IL-6 mRNA, and inhibits the destabilizing effect of regnase-1 on IL-6 mRNA. ARID5A contains an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT). |
