MORF4L2 Protein, Human (His)

MORF4L2 protein serves as an integral component of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex, contributing to the transcriptional activation of select genes through the acetylation of nucleosomal histones H4 and H2A. This modification not only alters nucleosome-DNA interactions but also facilitates the interaction of modified histones with other proteins that positively regulate transcription. The NuA4 complex, where MORF4L2 plays a vital role, is implicated in diverse cellular processes, including growth induction, growth arrest, replicative senescence, apoptosis, and DNA repair. RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 associate with EP400 to contribute ATPase and helicase activities to the NuA4 complex. MORF4L2 is also a component of the MSIN3A complex, which functions in transcriptional repression through the deacetylation of nucleosomal histones. Within the NuA4 complex, MORF4L2 interacts with various subunits, including KAT5/TIP60, EP400, TRRAP/PAF400, and others. Moreover, MORF4L2 is part of the MSIN3A histone deacetylase complex, collaborating with SIN3A, HDAC2, ARID4B, MORF4L1, RBBP4/RbAp48, and RBBP7/RbAp46. Its interactions with MRFAP1 and RB1, along with potential associations with the TLE family of transcriptional repressors, underscore MORF4L2's intricate involvement in chromatin modification and gene regulation.
