ID:PF21A_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=PHD finger protein 21A; AltName: Full=BHC80a; AltName: Full=BRAF35-HDAC complex protein BHC80; FUNCTION: Component of the BHC complex, a corepressor complex that represses transcription of neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. The BHC complex is recruited at RE1/NRSE sites by REST and acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. In the BHC complex, it may act as a scaffold. Inhibits KDM1A-mediated demethylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 in vitro, suggesting a role in demethylation regulation. SUBUNIT: Component of a BHC histone deacetylase complex that contains HDAC1, HDAC2, HMG20B/BRAF35, KDM1A, RCOR1/CoREST and PHF21A/BHC80. The BHC complex may also contain ZMYM2, ZNF217, ZMYM3, GSE1 and GTF2I. In the complex, it interacts directly with HDAC1, HDAC2, HMG20B/BRAF35, KDM1A and RCOR1/CoREST. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in brain. Expressed at much lower level in other tissues. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 A.T hook DNA-binding domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PHD-type zinc finger. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAF64262.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=Several; Sequence=BAB21787.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
