ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain family; The AT-rich interaction domain (ARID) family of transcription factors, found in a broad array of organisms from fungi to mammals, is characterized by a highly conserved, helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain that binds to the major groove of DNA. The ARID domain, also called BRIGHT, was first identified in the mouse B-cell-specific transcription factor Bright and in the product of the dead ringer (dri) gene of Drosophila melanogaster. ARID family members are implicated in normal development, differentiation, cell cycle regulation, transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling. Different family members exhibit different DNA-binding properties. Drosophila Dri, mammalian ARID3A/3B/3C and ARID5A/5B, selectively bind AT-rich sites. However, ARID1A/1B, Drosophila Osa, yeast SWI1, ARID2, ARID4A/4B, JARID1A/1B/1C/1D, and JARID2, bind DNA without sequence specificity.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 5A (ARID5A) and similar proteins; ARID5A, also called modulator recognition factor 1 (MRF-1), is an estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-interacting protein that is expressed abundantly in cardiovascular tissues and suppresses ER alpha-induced transactivation. It also associates with thyroid receptor alpha (TR alpha) and retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) in a ligand-dependent manner, and with ER beta, androgen receptor (AR), and the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) in a ligand-independent manner. ARID5A functions as a negative regulator of RORgamma-induced Th17 cell differentiation and may be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Moreover, it is an important transcriptional partner of the transcription factor sex determining region Y (SRY)-box protein 9 (Sox9) in stimulation of chondrocyte-specific transcription. Meanwhile, ARID5A plays an important role in promotion of inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. It works as a unique RNA binding protein, which stabilizes interleukin-6 (IL-6) but not tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) mRNA through binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of IL-6 mRNA, and inhibits the destabilizing effect of regnase-1 on IL-6 mRNA. ARID5A contains an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT).

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 5B (ARID5B) and similar proteins; ARID5B, also called MRF1-like protein or modulator recognition factor 2 (MRF-2), is a DNA-binding protein that directly interacts with plant homeodomain (PHD) finger 2 (PHF2) to form a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent PHF2-ARID5B histone H3K9Me2 demethylase complex, which is a signal-sensing modulator of histone methylation and gene transcription. It also functions as a transcriptional co-regulator for the transcription factor sex determining region Y (SRY)-box protein 9 (Sox9) and promotes chondrogenesis through histone modification. Moreover, ARID5B is highly expressed in the cardiovascular system and may play essential roles in the phenotypic change of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) through its regulation of SMC differentiation. Its polymorphism has been associated with risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ARID5B contains an AT-rich DNA-interacting domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT), which can bind both the major and minor grooves of its target sequences.

ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain; Members of the recently discovered ARID (AT-rich interaction domain) family of DNA-binding proteins are found in fungi and invertebrate and vertebrate metazoans. ARID-encoding genes are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell lineage gene regulation and cell cycle control. Although the specific roles of this domain and of ARID-containing proteins in transcriptional regulation are yet to be elucidated, they include both positive and negative transcriptional regulation and a likely involvement in the modification of chromatin structure. The basic structure of the ARID domain domain appears to be a series of six alpha-helices separated by beta-strands, loops, or turns, but the structured region may extend to an additional helix at either or both ends of the basic six. Based on primary sequence homology, they can be partitioned into three structural classes: Minimal ARID proteins that consist of a core domain formed by six alpha helices; ARID proteins that supplement the core domain with an N-terminal alpha-helix; and Extended-ARID proteins, which contain the core domain and additional alpha-helices at their N- and C-termini.
