Function. Transcriptional repressor. Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin. Enhances MBD2-mediated repression. Efficient repression requires the presence of GATAD2B.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Component of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) repressor complex, composed of core proteins MTA1, MTA2, MTA3, RBBP4, RBBP7, HDAC1, HDAC2, MBD2, MBD3, and peripherally associated proteins CDK2AP1, CDK2AP2, GATAD2A, GATAD2B, CHD3, CHD4 and CHD5. The exact stoichiometry of the NuRD complex is unknown, and some subunits such as MBD2 and MBD3, GATAD2A and GATAD2B, and CHD3, CHD4 and CHD5 define mutually exclusive NuRD complexes. Component of the MeCP1 histone deacetylase complex. Interacts with CDK2AP1. Interacts with CHD4. Interacts with ERCC6. Interacts with HDAC1. Interacts with HDAC2. Interacts with MBD2; this interaction is required for the enhancement of MBD2-mediated repression and for targeting to the chromatin. Interacts with MBD3. Interacts with MTA2. Interacts with ZMYND8. Interacts with histone tails, including that of histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4, the interaction is reduced by histone acetylation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus speckle. Nucleus. Chromosome.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous, both in fetal and adult tissues.
Domain organisation. Both CR1 and CR2 regions are required for speckled nuclear localization.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 153 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.
