Summary
MORC2 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2, HGNC:23573) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q12.2, encoding ATPase MORC2 (Q9Y6X9). ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler essential for epigenetic silencing by the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex.
This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Function. ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler essential for epigenetic silencing by the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex. Recruited by HUSH to target site in heterochromatin, the ATPase activity and homodimerization are critical for HUSH-mediated silencing. Represses germ cell-related genes and L1 retrotransposons in collaboration with SETDB1 and the HUSH complex, the silencing is dependent of repressive epigenetic modifications, such as H3K9me3 mark. Silencing events often occur within introns of transcriptionally active genes, and lead to the down-regulation of host gene expression. During DNA damage response, regulates chromatin remodeling through ATP hydrolysis. Upon DNA damage, is phosphorylated by PAK1, both colocalize to chromatin and induce H2AX expression. ATPase activity is required and dependent of phosphorylation by PAK1 and presence of DNA. Recruits histone deacetylases, such as HDAC4, to promoter regions, causing local histone H3 deacetylation and transcriptional repression of genes such as CA9. Exhibits a cytosolic function in lipogenesis, adipogenic differentiation, and lipid homeostasis by increasing the activity of ACLY, possibly preventing its dephosphorylation. Together with MPHOSPH8, mediates silencing of protocadherin genes in the nervous system.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimerizes upon ATP-binding and dissociate upon ATP hydrolysis; homodimerization is required for gene silencing. Interacts with HDAC4. Interacts with ACLY. Interacts with TASOR and MPHOSPH8; the interactions associate MORC2 with the HUSH complex which recruits MORC2 to heterochromatic loci.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Chromosome. Nucleus matrix.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in smooth muscle, pancreas and testis.
Post-translational modifications. (Microbial infection) Ubiquitinated by herpes simplex virus 1/HHV-1 protein ICP0, leading to proteasomal degradation. Phosphorylated by PAK1 at Ser-739 upon DNA damage. Phosphorylation is required for ATPase activity and recruitment to damaged chromatin.
Disease relevance. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2Z (CMT2Z) [MIM:616688] An autosomal dominant, axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Developmental delay, impaired growth, dysmorphic facies, and axonal neuropathy (DIGFAN) [MIM:619090] An autosomal dominant disease characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, poor growth, short stature, microcephaly, and variable craniofacial dysmorphism. Patients often present weakness, hyporeflexia, and electrophysiologic abnormalities consistent with an axonal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy. Additional features may include hearing loss, pigmentary retinopathy, and abnormalities on brain imaging, including cerebral or cerebellar atrophy, hypomyelination, and lesions in the basal ganglia or brainstem. Disease severity is highly variable. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. ATPase activity is dependent of phosphorylation by PAK1 and presence of DNA.
