Human Gene CHD8 (uc001war.2)
  Description: Homo sapiens chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8 (CHD8), transcript variant 1, mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_001170629): This gene encodes a member of the chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding protein family, which is characterized by a SNF2-like domain and two chromatin organization modifier domains. The encoded protein also contains brahma and kismet domains, which are common to the subfamily of chromodomain-helicase-DNA binding proteins to which this protein belongs. This gene has been shown to function in several processes that include transcriptional regulation, epigenetic remodeling, promotion of cell proliferation, and regulation of RNA synthesis. Allelic variants of this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016].

  ID: CHD8_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 8; Short=CHD-8; EC=3.6.4.12; AltName: Full=ATP-dependent helicase CHD8; AltName: Full=Helicase with SNF2 domain 1;
FUNCTION: DNA helicase that acts as a chromatin remodeling factor and regulates transcription. Acts as a transcription repressor by remodeling chromatin structure and recruiting histone H1 to target genes. Suppresses p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis by recruiting histone H1 and preventing p53/TP53 transactivation activity. Acts as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling pathway by regulating beta-catenin (CTNNB1) activity. Negatively regulates CTNNB1- targeted gene expression by being recruited specifically to the promoter regions of several CTNNB1 responsive genes. Involved in both enhancer blocking and epigenetic remodeling at chromatin boundary via its interaction with CTCF. Acts as a suppressor of STAT3 activity by suppressing the LIF-induced STAT3 transcriptional activity. Also acts as a transcription activator via its interaction with ZNF143 by participating in efficient U6 RNA polymerase III transcription.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with p53/TP53, histone H1, CTNNB1, CTCF and PIAS3. Component of some MLL1/MLL complex, at least composed of the core components MLL, ASH2L, HCFC1/HCF1, WDR5 and RBBP5, as well as the facultative components C17orf49, CHD8, E2F6, HSP70, INO80C, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MGA, KAT8/MOF, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10. Interacts with CHD7.
INTERACTION: Q9P2D1:CHD7; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-4410319, EBI-3951683;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Note=Localizes to the promoter regions of several CTNNB1-responsive genes. Also present at known CTCF target sites.
PTM: Sumoylated (By similarity).
MISCELLANEOUS: Its gene is located in the 14q11.2 region of the genome which is associated with developmental delay, cognitive impairment and similar minor anomalies in some children, suggesting that it may be a good candidate for the phenotype.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. CHD8 subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 2 chromo domains.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
