PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	one GATA-type zinc finger
	a conserved region 2 that is required for histone tail interaction as well as for wild-type subnuclear distribution

	homolog to rattus Gatad2a (92.2pc)

intraspecies

paralog to GATAD2B

Homologene

FAMILY

p66 family

CATEGORY

regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm,nuclear bodies,nuclear speckles

basic FUNCTION	involved in methylation dependent transcriptional repression
	is essential for development

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

component of a complex containing MBD2, HDAC1 and/or HDAC2

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding MBD3, P66BETA
	GATAD2A, GATAD2B interact with MBD2 functionally and biochemically
	a coiled-coil interaction between MBD2 and GATA2A proteins recruits the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein (CHD4) to the NuRD complex and is necessary for MBD2-mediated DNA methylation-dependent gene silencing
