Gene Description

CHD4 (Mi-2beta) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler that engages nucleosomal DNA and histones to change nucleosome positioning and accessibility. It is a remodeling subunit of CHD4-containing NuRD assemblies and also forms the ADNP/HP1-associated ChAHP complex. DNA-binding regulators and chromatin readers recruit these assemblies to selected genomic regions, where CHD4 supports context-dependent transcriptional repression and, in other settings, transcriptional competence. HDAC subunits provide the associated deacetylation activity. Nuclear CHD4 also supports local transcriptional control and homologous recombination at DNA lesions. Developmental consequences include regulation of erythroid gene expression and neuronal maturation. A smaller cytoplasmic and centrosomal pool associates with pericentrin, with behavior distinct from CHD3. Pathogenic CHD4 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000122 negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain context-dependent repression of RNA polymerase II transcription.
Reason: The exact rat E9PU01 donor has IMP evidence from PMID:18456662. Its Schwann-cell experiments concern EGR2/NAB2 recruitment, a dominant-negative CHD4 construct and Id gene expression; the promoter antibody recognizes CHD3/4. Independent human CHD4 recruitment and repression studies support the biological transfer, without claiming that this rat assay tested human CHD4 or that the historical Ensembl mapping was reconstructed.

ACCEPT
Summary: CHD4 performs chromatin-associated work supporting homologous recombination.
Reason: Actual PMID:25593309 Fig.4D measures reduced DR-GFP repair after CHD4 depletion, Fig.4E–J examines CHD4 damage recruitment under ZMYND8 perturbation, and Fig.6D–I links CHD4 to local transcriptional silencing and RAD51 loading at FokI lesions. CHD4 provides chromatin remodeling and regulatory work rather than strand-exchange chemistry. The AsiSI RAD51 experiment in Fig.5 is ZMYND8-depleted and is not recast as a CHD4 assay.

Summary: Retain telomeric recruitment in the alternative-lengthening context.
Reason: The authentic abstract, publisher figure descriptions and supplementary reverse co-IP context of PMID:25150861 describe ZNF827-mediated NuRD recruitment to ALT telomeres. Preserve the curated CHD4 IDA location; the full main experimental series and a CHD4-specific telomeric image were not independently inspected. This is context-dependent telomeric association, not constitutive residence at every telomere.

Summary: CHD4 occupies chromatin as a component of a remodeling assembly.
Reason: The human K562 LARC preparation contains Mi2beta/CHD4 and binds globin regulatory chromatin in ChIP and complex-level DNA assays. Independent purified human CHD4–nucleosome structures directly establish chromatin substrate engagement. MARE recognition by the LARC assembly is not assigned as an intrinsic CHD4 sequence motif.

Summary: Chromatin is a principal site of CHD4 activity.
Reason: The original PAINT ancestral assertion is consistent with human CHD4 chromatin occupancy, purified nucleosome remodeling and structure. Historical PTN002473914 placement was not reconstructed; target self-evidence and descendant count are not weaknesses.

Summary: Refine ADNP association to DNA-binding transcription factor binding.
Reason: PMID:29795351 establishes ADNP-directed sequence-specific chromatin recruitment and recombinant human ADNP–CHD4 association in Extended Data Fig.4. The official GO:0001221 definition describes binding a coregulator that does not itself bind DNA; ADNP supplies sequence-specific recognition in this source. GO:0140297 better describes the measured partner class without assigning ADNP motif recognition to CHD4.

GO_REF:0000033

Summary: DNA engagement is intrinsic to CHD4 chromatin remodeling.
Reason: The PAINT DNA-binding assertion is consistent with direct human CHD4 contacts to nucleosomal DNA in PMID:32543371 and purified remodeling in PMID:28977666. Nucleosomal DNA binding describes one substrate context; it does not invalidate the broader physical DNA engagement. No sequence-recognition motif or reconstructed historical ancestral placement is asserted.

Reason: The InterPro IPR009462 mapping is consistent with the CHD4 motor and chromodomain contacts to DNA observed in the human nucleosome-bound structure (PMID:32543371).

ZNF410 represses fetal globin by singular control of CHD4.

Summary: CHD4 contributes transcriptional corepression through chromatin-remodeling assemblies.
Reason: PMID:33859416 tests CHD4-dependent fetal-globin repression in human erythroid cells, while independent ZIP/ZGPAT, TBX5 and ADNP recruitment experiments place CHD4 in complexes recruited by DNA-binding regulators. ZNF410 binds regulatory DNA of the CHD4 gene in the original paper; it is not thereby a demonstrated protein recruiter of CHD4 at globin. CHD4 supplies remodeling, not HDAC chemistry.

Summary: PHF6 associates with CHD4-containing NuRD in human cells.
Reason: PMID:22720776 explicitly reports PHF6 copurification with CHD4, HDAC1 and RBBP4 in HEK293T cells; its complete abstract supports the association although the original full experimental series remains uninspected. A more specific partner class is not settled: human PHF6 fragments directly bind double-stranded DNA in PMID:24554700 (Methods; Figures 6–7), whereas GO:0001221 defines cofactors that do not bind DNA directly. PHF6 also represses a GAL4 reporter and binds RBBP4 (Figure 9), so its regulatory role is real, but it should not be forced into that narrower binding class. Retain the positive generic association as non-core, without transferring PHF6 activity to CHD4.

Summary: ZNF827-associated NuRD binding is retained in its ALT-telomere context.
Reason: The authentic PMID:25150861 abstract and publisher reverse-coimmunoprecipitation description support ZNF827-associated NuRD at ALT telomeres. This positive association is retained as non-core. The inspected source does not resolve a narrower partner class, such as sequence-specific transcription factor or non-DNA-binding coregulator, for this interaction; a zinc-finger name alone is insufficient. The complete original target series remains uninspected, and neither an intrinsic CHD4 telomere-scaffold activity nor a direct binary interface is inferred.

The recovered full paper reports positive Mi-2 ChIP at Gata2 and CD4E1 control regions, but not the embryonic globin regions tested in Figure 2; the generic Mi-2 antibody experiments are not all uniquely assigned to CHD4. GO:0032993 requires DNA to be a constituent of the complex, rather than merely contacted by a protein assembly. These observations establish chromatin recruitment but do not resolve that membership requirement. Independent human CHD4–nucleosome contacts do not by themselves settle stable membership either.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the developmental consequence of NuRD-dependent transcriptional regulation.
Reason: The original PMID:22560079 primarily perturbs mouse Mbd3/NuRD and measures Mi2beta occupancy at pluripotency targets, with lineage commitment and transcriptional heterogeneity outcomes. It is not a direct human CHD4-specific differentiation knockout. Retain the existing NAS association at conserved complex/organism scope; independent CHD4 remodeling provides a plausible performed transcriptional contribution without a new developmental process assertion.

Core Functions

CHD4 uses ATP hydrolysis to reposition nucleosomes and change chromatin accessibility. Purified human protein assays and nucleosome-bound structures establish its motor work. At DNA lesions, recruited CHD4 supports local chromatin control and homologous recombination; it does not perform RAD51 strand exchange. The motor also operates in transcriptional contexts, including the repressive assemblies described separately.

Supporting Evidence:

CHD4 acts as a transcription corepressor by supplying ATP-dependent remodeling within recruited NuRD assemblies. Human erythroid perturbation and rescue experiments establish CHD4-dependent globin repression. ZIP-associated human NuRD purification supplies recruitment context, while its generic Mi-2 binding assays do not uniquely identify every interaction as CHD4. HDAC subunits provide deacetylation. ZNF410 controls CHD4 expression and is not thereby a demonstrated recruiter of CHD4 protein to globin. This is the regulatory role of recruited remodeling, not a claim of a separate ATPase-independent chemistry.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What assay or annotation convention supports CHD4 being active within the cerebellar granule-to-Purkinje synapse, beyond its demonstrated nuclear regulation of synaptic development?

Q: Which current CHD4 alternative products correspond to the recombinant constructs used in each remodeling, PAR-binding and recruitment study?

Q: What molecular step explains the distinct CHD3 and CHD4 effects on pericentrin at centrosomes, independently of longer-term transcriptional changes?

Q: Which original experiment links PMID:9804427 to the preserved mouse pericentrin partner, and where is the exact CHD4 target row in the NK membrane-proteome study?

Q: How do ADNP, NuRD and other recruiters tune CHD4 remodeling toward repression or transcriptional competence in different chromatin contexts?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use endogenous paralog-specific CHD4 tagging in cerebellar neurons with compartment-resolved imaging and local interaction measurements to distinguish nuclear regulation from a synaptic protein pool.

Experiment: Map the full recombinant sequences to current products and compare ATPase, remodeling and recruiter binding with matched substrates and tags.

Experiment: Separate rapid centrosomal CHD4 perturbation from slower gene-expression changes while measuring pericentrin exchange and centrosome composition.
