This gene is a member of the RUNX family of transcription factors and encodes a nuclear protein with an Runt DNA-binding domain. This protein is essential for osteoblastic differentiation and skeletal morphogenesis and acts as a scaffold for nucleic acids and regulatory factors involved in skeletal gene expression. The protein can bind DNA both as a monomer or, with more affinity, as a subunit of a heterodimeric complex. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the bone development disorder cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). Transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms result from the use of alternate promoters as well as alternate splicing. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

基因名
RUNX2
蛋白名
Runt-related transcription factor 2
亚基
Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Interacts with HIVEP3. The alpha subunit binds DNA as a monomer and through the Runt domain. DNA-binding is increased by heterodimerization. Interacts with G22P1 (Ku70) and XRCC5 (Ku80). Interacts with MYST3 and MYST4.
亚细胞定位
Nucleus.
组织特异性
Specifically expressed in osteoblasts.
翻译后修饰
Phosphorylated; probably by MAP kinases (MAPK). Isoform 3 is phosphorylated on Ser340.
疾病
Defects in RUNX2 are the cause of cleidocranial dysplasia (CLCD) [MIM:119600]; also known as cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD). CLCD is an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder with high penetrance and variable expressivity. It is due to defective endochondral and intramembranous bone formation. Typical features include hypoplasia/aplasia of clavicles, patent fontanelles, wormian bones (additional cranial plates caused by abnormal ossification of the calvaria), supernumerary teeth, short stature, and other skeletal changes. In some cases defects in RUNX2 are exclusively associated with dental anomalies.
相似性
Contains 1 Runt domain.
功能
Transcription factor involved in osteoblastic differentiation and skeletal morphogenesis. Essential for the maturation of osteoblasts and both intramembranous and endochondral ossification. CBF binds to the core site, 5'-PYGPYGGT-3', of a number of enhancers and promoters, including murine leukemia virus, polyomavirus enhancer, T-cell receptor enhancers, osteocalcin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, alpha 1(I) collagen, LCK, IL-3 and GM-CSF promoters (By similarity). Inhibits MYST4-dependent transcriptional activation. [SUBUNIT] Interaction with SATB2 results in enhanced DNA binding and transactivation by these transcription factors (By similarity). Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Interacts with HIVEP3 (By similarity). The alpha subunit binds DNA as a monomer and through the Runt domain. DNA-binding is increased by heterodimerization. Interacts with XRCC6 (Ku70) and XRCC5 (Ku80). Interacts with MYST3 and MYST4.
