Also known as RBP1RBP-1
Summary
ARID4A (AT-rich interaction domain 4A, HGNC:9885) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.1, encoding AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 4A (P29374). DNA-binding protein which modulates activity of several transcription factors including RB1 (retinoblastoma-associated protein) and AR (androgen receptor).
The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein. It binds directly, with several other proteins, to retinoblastoma protein (pRB) which regulates cell proliferation. pRB represses transcription by recruiting the encoded protein. This protein, in turn, serves as a bridging molecule to recruit HDACs and, in addition, provides a second HDAC-independent repression function. The encoded protein possesses transcriptional repression activity. Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts have been observed for this gene, although not all transcript variants have been fully described.

Function. DNA-binding protein which modulates activity of several transcription factors including RB1 (retinoblastoma-associated protein) and AR (androgen receptor). May function as part of an mSin3A repressor complex. Has no intrinsic transcriptional activity. Plays a role in the regulation of epigenetic modifications at the PWS/AS imprinting center near the SNRPN promoter, where it might function as part of a complex with RB1 and ARID4B. Involved in spermatogenesis, together with ARID4B, where it acts as a transcriptional coactivator for AR and enhances expression of genes required for sperm maturation. Regulates expression of the tight junction protein CLDN3 in the testis, which is important for integrity of the blood-testis barrier. Plays a role in myeloid homeostasis where it regulates the histone methylation state of bone marrow cells and expression of various genes involved in hematopoiesis. May function as a leukemia suppressor.
Subunit / interactions. Identified in mSin3A corepressor complexes together with SIN3A, SIN3B, RBBP4, RBBP7, SAP30, BRMS1, HDAC1 and HDAC2. Interacts with BRMS1. Interacts with RB1. Interacts with ARID4B. Interacts with AR.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Domain organisation. The function of the Tudor-knot domain, also named chromodomain-like, is uncertain. One study suggests that it mediates binding to lysine-methylated histone tails, with strongest affinity for H4K20me3 and H3K36me3. However, another study failed to find any interaction between this domain and histone H4K20me3 peptide.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 58 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
