(Metastasis Associated 1 Family, Member 2 (MTA2))
The p53 tumor-suppressor gene integrates numerous signals that control cell life and death. Several novel molecules involved in p53 pathway, including Chk2 , p53R2 (2), p53AIP1 (3), Noxa (4), PIDD (5), and PID/MTA2 (6), were recently discovered. The transcriptional activity of p53 is modulated by protein stability and acetylation. PID/MTA2, also termed MTA1-L1, was found to be a subunit of nucleosome remodeling and deacetylating (NRD/NuRD) complex (6 - 8). PID/MTA2 modulates the enzymatic activity of the histone deacetylase complex and its expression reduces the levels of acetylated p53. Deacetylation of p53 by PID/MTA2 represses p53-dependent transcriptional activation and modulates p53-mediated cell growth arrest and apoptosis (6). PID/MTA2 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues (8).Synonyms: MTA1-L1, MTA1L1, Metastasis-associated 1-like 1, Metastasis-associated protein MTA2, PID, p53 target protein in deacetylase complex
