    basic FUNCTION
  • nuclear hormone receptor co-repressor, silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptors
  • recruiting the histone deacytylation complex Sin3A/HDAC1/HDAC2, resulting in chromatin remodeling and repression of transcription
  • with HDAC4 play an important role in nuclear retention and the BACH2 focus formation in the mammalian cell nucleus, which may contribute to the local transcription repression
  • transcriptional corepressor that participates in diverse signaling pathways and diseases
  • directly involved in the VDR-mediated repression via an ID1-specific interaction with the VDR
  • central role to control the actions of many transcriptional factors, in large part, by recruitment and activation of a range of chromatin remodeling enzymes
  • role in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and the aging process, which may serve as a drug target to improve health span
  • essential role for NCOR2 in regulating the progression, severity, and therapeutic outcome of metabolic diseases
  • co-repressor NCOR2 exerts a critical protective action against genotoxic stress-induced caspase activation, repressing a functionally important cohort of pro-apoptotic genes
  • biological role for NCOR2 in mediating DNA damage responses
  • promotes breast cancer progression through multiple pathways leading to increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis
  • NCOR1 and NCOR2 are coregulators of nuclear receptor (NR) action
  • NCOR1 and NCOR2 collaborate to control hepatic lipid content, which likely reflects their cooperative activity in regulating the action of multiple NRs including the TH receptor (TR)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • complex NCOR2/HDAC interacting with TBL1X
  • complexing with SCA1
  • core repression complex involves the recruitment of three proteins, HDAC3, GPS2 and TBL1X, to a highly conserved repression domain within NCOR2 and NCOR
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • HDAC5, HDAC7, NCOR1, TBL1X
  • repressing STAT5A, STAT5B dependent transcription
  • mediates the HDAC4 binding to BACH2, and HDAC4 facilitates the retention of BACH2 in the foci
  • functional interaction between NCOR2 and FOXP1 is required for cardiac growth and regulation of macrophage differentiation
  • interaction with PIN1 (interaction requires the WW domain of PIN1 and SMRT phosphorylation, and regulates SMRT protein stability, thereby affecting SMRT-dependent transcriptional repression)
  • TBL1X interacts with both NCOR2 and GPS2
  • CAMK2A down-regulated the protein stability of NCOR2 through proteasomal degradation
  • WNT5A inhibited the physical association between RBPJ and NCOR2 suggesting that WNT5A induced CAMK2A activation plays a critical role in the endogenous RBPJ-NCOR2 binding
  • kinase activity of CAMK2A plays a crucial role in the proteasomal degradation of NCOR2
  • regulatory cascade containing PPARG and TWIST1 that controlled the expression of GPS2 and NCOR2 in human adipocytes
  • MAP2K1 interacts with the nuclear receptor corepressor silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptor (NCOR2)
  • DEAF1 transcription regulation activity is mediated through interactions with cofactors such as NCOR1 and NCOR2
  • is responsible for basal repression of PPM1D, a phosphatase that de-phosphorylates and inactivates CHEK2, thus affecting a feedback loop responsible for licensing the correct timing of CHEK2 activation and the proper execution of the DNA repair process
  • interaction with NCOR2 is essential for deacetylase-independent function of HDAC3
  • target for the ubiquitously expressed protein kinase CSNK2A1, which is known to phosphorylate a wide variety of substrates
  • (HDAC3)-dependent transcriptional corepressor
  • TP53 bound to the NCOR2 deacetylase activation domain (DAD), which mediates HDAC3 binding and activation, and HDAC3 could attenuate TP53 binding to the DAD region of NCOR2
  • NCOR1 and NCOR2 directly bind to transcription factors and nucleate the formation of stable complexes that include HDAC3, transducin b-like protein 1/TBL1-related protein 1, and GPS2
