Biological function summary

CHD4 acts within the NuRD complex to mediate transcriptional repression. This complex combines chromatin remodeling with histone deacetylation to alter chromatin dynamics affecting gene expression. CHD4's involvement in the complex facilitates the static organization of chromatin therefore contributing to transcriptional silencing of specific gene sets. The protein's activity is often in response to environmental and developmental cues playing an integral role in cellular differentiation and proliferation processes.

Pathways

CHD4 connects closely with DNA damage repair and cell cycle regulation pathways. It participates actively in the DNA damage response pathway by facilitating the repair of double-strand breaks working alongside proteins such as ATM and ATR. CHD4 also influences the cell cycle by interacting with cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases which maintain proper cell cycle progression and check points.
