Description

ARID5B (AT-Rich Interaction Domain 5B) encodes a member of the ARID family of DNA-binding proteins. This transcription factor plays a critical role in embryonic development, cell growth, and differentiation. It is involved in chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. Genetic variants in ARID5B are associated with susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and rheumatoid arthritis. The protein interacts with histone deacetylases and other regulatory complexes to modulate transcription.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Risk-associated SNPs (e.g., rs7089424) in ARID5B are linked to increased susceptibility to childhood ALL, possibly through altered gene expression affecting B-cell development. Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses (e.g., Treviño et al., 2009; Xu et al., 2013)
Rheumatoid Arthritis ARID5B variants (e.g., rs10821944) are associated with increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis, potentially through modulation of immune cell function. GWAS studies (e.g., Okada et al., 2014)
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Polymorphisms in ARID5B have been implicated in SLE susceptibility in some populations. Case-control studies (e.g., Zhang et al., 2012)

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
rs7089424 (intronic) SNP ~30% in European populations Risk allele (G) associated with increased ALL susceptibility; may alter ARID5B expression levels.
rs10821944 (intronic) SNP ~25% in Asian populations Risk allele (A) associated with rheumatoid arthritis; potential regulatory effect.
c.1234C>T (p.Arg412*) Nonsense Rare Predicted loss-of-function; observed in some cancer samples (COSMIC).
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Nonsense and frameshift mutations that truncate the protein, reducing DNA-binding and transcriptional activity.

Gain of Function (GOF)

Not well characterized; some missense variants may alter target gene specificity.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Not reported for ARID5B.

Pathways

Protein Summary

ARID5B is a 1,188-amino-acid protein containing an AT-rich interaction domain (ARID) that mediates sequence-specific DNA binding. It functions as a transcription factor, often repressing target genes by recruiting histone deacetylase complexes. The protein is involved in cell cycle control, differentiation, and development. ARID5B is widely expressed, with highest levels in hematopoietic tissues. Its dysregulation contributes to cancer and autoimmune diseases.
