ARID/BRIGHT DNA binding domain of AT-rich interactive domain-containing proteins ARID3A, ARID3B, ARID3C, dead ringer (Dri) from Drosophila melanogaster, and similar proteins The ARID3 subfamily includes AT-rich interactive domain (ARID, also known as BRIGHT)-containing proteins ARID3A, ARID3B and ARID3C, which are the most direct mammalian counterparts of the Drosophila "dead ringer" protein Dri. They consist of an acidic N-terminal region of unknown function, the central ARID matrix association (or attachment) region (MAR)-DNA binding domain, a SUMO-I conjugation (SUMO) motif, and a multifunctional homomerization/nuclear export REKLES domain in the C-terminal third of the molecule. The ARID domain in this subfamily has been described as the "extended" or e-ARID due to additional conserved sequences at both the N and C termini of the core ARID region. The REKLES domain is found only in the ARID3 subfamily. It has co-evolved with and regulates functional properties of the ARID DNA-binding domain.
