Biological function summary
ASXL1 plays a critical role in epigenetic regulation and is often part of polycomb repressive complexes. These complexes contribute to transcriptional repression particularly during cellular differentiation and development. ASXL1 interacts with other proteins to modify histones thereby affecting the expression of genes involved in growth and differentiation processes. Its function is closely connected to developmental pathways given its impact on regulation at the chromatin level.
Pathways
ASXL1 interacts with complex epigenetic regulatory networks. It takes part in the PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) pathway an essential pathway for transcriptional silencing via histone methylation. ASXL1 also shows interactions with proteins like EZH2 and SUZ12 within this pathway contributing to the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Such interactions underline its role in chromatin remodeling and maintaining gene silencing during development and homeostasis.

General info
Function
Probable Polycomb group (PcG) protein involved in transcriptional regulation mediated by ligand-bound nuclear hormone receptors, such as retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) (PubMed : 16606617). Acts as a coactivator of RARA and RXRA through association with NCOA1 (PubMed : 16606617). Acts as a corepressor for PPARG and suppresses its adipocyte differentiation-inducing activity (By similarity). Non-catalytic component of the PR-DUB complex, a complex that specifically mediates deubiquitination of histone H2A monoubiquitinated at 'Lys-119' (H2AK119ub1) (PubMed : 20436459, PubMed : 30664650, PubMed : 36180891). Acts as a sensor of N(6)-methyladenine methylation on DNA (6mA) : recognizes and binds 6mA DNA, leading to its ubiquitination and degradation by TRIP12, thereby inactivating the PR-DUB complex and regulating Polycomb silencing (PubMed : 30982744). The PR-DUB complex is an epigenetic regulator of gene expression and acts as a transcriptional coactivator, affecting genes involved in development, cell communication, signaling, cell proliferation and cell viability (PubMed : 30664650, PubMed : 36180891). ASXL1, ASXL2 and ASXL3 function redundantly in the PR-DUB complex (By similarity) (PubMed : 30664650). The ASXL proteins are essential for chromatin recruitment and transcriptional activation of associated genes (By similarity). ASXL1 and ASXL2 are important for BAP1 protein stability (PubMed : 30664650). Together with BAP1, negatively regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of trophoblast stem cells during placental development by regulating genes involved in epithelial cell integrity, cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization (PubMed : 34170818).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the Asx family.
Post-translational modifications
Ubiquitinated by TRIP12, leading to its subsequent degradation following binding of N(6)-methyladenine methylated DNA (6mA).
