ARID2 (BAF200) is a specificity subunit of the PBAF chromatin-remodeling complex (SWI/SNF family) required for selective transcriptional activation of interferon-responsive genes; PBAF and BAF regulate distinct gene sets, and BAF200 is required for PBAF-specific transcription but not BAF-specific transcription. |

ARID2 physically interacts with E2F1 and decreases binding of E2F1/RNA Pol II to the promoters of CCND1 (cyclin D1) and CCNE1 (cyclin E1), thereby repressing their expression and retarding G1/S cell cycle progression in hepatoma cells. |

ARID2 (Baf200) promotes homology-directed DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by facilitating RAD51 recruitment to DSBs; Baf200 and RAD51 physically interact through C-terminal sequences in both proteins. Baf200 forms at least two distinct PBAF complexes: one canonical PBAF containing BRG1 and one containing BAF180 but not BRG1. |

ARID2 is a pomalidomide-induced neosubstrate of the CRL4CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex; pomalidomide induces ARID2 degradation more potently than lenalidomide. BRD7 (another PBAF subunit) is required for pomalidomide-induced ARID2 degradation. ARID2 regulates transcription of MYC and other pomalidomide target genes. |

ARID2 mitigates hepatic steatosis by promoting ubiquitination and degradation of JAK2 via the E3 ligase NEDD4L, thereby repressing the JAK2-STAT5-PPARγ signaling axis; ARID2 recruits the methyltransferase CARM1 to the NEDD4L promoter, increasing H3R17me2a and activating NEDD4L transcription. |
