    motifs/domains
  • three conserved domains shared with other CITED family members and a unique Serine-Glycine Rich Junction (SRJ) that is highly conserved in placental mammals
  • a glutamic-aspartic (ED) rich C terminal region, with a functional motif (LPXL) within this domain necessary and sufficient for binding to the first cysteine/histidine-rich region of EP300, a EP300 binding motif with 32 AAs (D224-F255), required for competing with HIF1A in binding to EP300 to inhibit HIF1 mediated signaling
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Cited2 (95.5 pc)

    basic FUNCTION
  • cytokine-inducible transcription factor with transformation activity, involved in the recruitement of p300/CBP by hypoxia-inducible factor HIF1A and MRG1 (MSG1-related gene)
  • controlling left-right patterning and heart development through NODAL/PITX2 pathway
  • coactivator of PPARA and that both proteins may participate in signaling cascades of hypoxic response and angiogenesis
  • regulating colon cancer invasion and might be a target for HDAC inhibitor-based intervention of colon cancer
  • interfering with the binding of transcription factors HIF-1a and STAT2 to p300/CBP
  • involved in response to stress
  • implicated in control of cell growth and malignant transformation
  • important regulator of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling
  • functioning as a Smad3/p300-interacting transcriptional co-activator in modulating the expression of MMP9, which could affect tumor cell invasion mediated by TGF-beta
  • playing a role in adrenal growth and possibly in adrenal tumorigenesis
  • non-DNA binding protein that functions as a context dependent transcriptional co-activator or repressor
  • functions to ensure elevated NR5A1 and SRY levels which provide a robust activation of the male pathway as well as proper development
  • critical upstream regulator of fracture healing
  • may act as a mechanosensitive molecular switch regulating cartilage matrix breakdown
  • role in tissues of the embryo vital for left–right patterning (the node and lateral plate mesoderm)
  • role as a potentiator of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling, counteracting the initiation of NODAL expression in the lateral plate mesoderm
  • cardiac transcription factor, plays an important role in cardiac development
  • may play a role in the development of congenital heart disease (CHD)
  • plays a role in left–right patterning through the NODAL-PITX2C pathway
  • potential role of CITED2 in the remodeling of chromatin structures
  • critical role of CITED2 in cardiomyocyte differentiation by affecting the expression of NFATC4 leading to down-regulation of NKX2.5 and beta-MHC cardiomyocyte genes
  • functions as a molecular switch of cytokine-induced proliferation and quiescence
  • functions as a transcriptional co-activator of ESR1 in breast cancer cells and its increased expression in tumors may result in estrogen-independent ER activation, thereby reducing estrogen dependence and response to anti-estrogen therapy
  • is an essential regulator for HSC quiescence, apoptosis, and function
  • is a transcriptional co-factor with important roles in many organs of the developing mammalian embryo
  • its overexpression sustains ESC pluripotency

    small molecule
    protein
  • coactivator of TFAP2
  • interacting directly with PPARA in the presence or absence of ligand predominantly via the ligand binding domain of the nuclear receptor
  • binding to the CH1 region of p300/CBP
  • interacts with WT1 to stimulate the expression of NR5A1 in the adrenogonadal primordium to ensure adrenal development
  • role for transcription factor LMO4 in thymus development through genetic interaction with CITED2
  • may interact with both NODAL and BMP signalling in establishing laterality
  • EP300 interacting transcriptional modulator that functions as an important modulator in cardiac development
  • controls embryonic stem cells (ESCs) pluripotency and differentiation via direct regulation of POU5F1 gene expression.
  • SPI1 is a critical regulator of CITED2, as SPI1 repressed CITED2 expression in a DNMT3A/B-dependent manner in normal CD34+ cells

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Cited2-null mice die during gestation with fully penetrant heart defects and partially penetrant laterality defects
  • mice lacking Cited2 die in utero, and they show various cardiac malformations including atrial and ventricular septal defects
  • loss of Cited2 in mice results in cardiac and aortic arch malformations, adrenal agenesis, neural tube and placental defects, and partially penetrant defects in left-right patterning
  • embryonic growth retardation observed in Cited2 null embryos is likely due in part to a disorganized embryonic capillary network, and in part due to abnormalities of the nutrient transport functions of the feto-maternal interface
