Summary

CHD2 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 2, HGNC:1917) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q26.1, encoding ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD2 (O14647). ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor that specifically binds to the promoter of target genes, leading to chromatin remodeling, possibly by promoting deposition of histone H3.3. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

The CHD family of proteins is characterized by the presence of chromo (chromatin organization modifier) domains and SNF2-related helicase/ATPase domains. CHD genes alter gene expression possibly by modification of chromatin structure thus altering access of the transcriptional apparatus to its chromosomal DNA template. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor that specifically binds to the promoter of target genes, leading to chromatin remodeling, possibly by promoting deposition of histone H3.3. Involved in myogenesis via interaction with MYOD1: binds to myogenic gene regulatory sequences and mediates incorporation of histone H3.3 prior to the onset of myogenic gene expression, promoting their expression.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MYOD1. Interacts with histone H3.3.

Subcellular location. Nucleus.

Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (DEE94) [MIM:615369] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE94 is an autosomal dominant, severe form characterized by onset of multiple seizure types in the first few years of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. The CHD1 helical C-terminal domain (CHCT) may bind DNA and nucleosomes.

Similarity. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 45 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.
