Superfamily: MRG domain

The mortality family of transcription factors (MORF) comprises three proteins, two of which (MRG15 and MRGX) promote cell proliferation while the third, MORF4, is involved in replicative senescence PMID:22244764. These are localized to the nucleus and have predicted motifs that indicate they function as chromatin remodelling complex components. Even though MORF4, MRG15 and MRGX have a different N-terminal part, they share a common C-terminal part, the MRG domain whose structure is shared by members of this superfamily. This domain is involved in the binding of a plethora of transcriptional regulators and chromatin-remodeling factors, such as the histone deacetylase transcriptional co-repressor mSin3A and the nuclear protein PAM14 (protein-associated MRG, 14kDa) PMID:9891081,PMID:11290425,PMID:22244764.
