Chromatin reader that recognizes dual histone modifications such as histone H3.1 dimethylated at ‘Lys-36’ and histone H4 acetylated at ‘Lys-16’ (H3.1K36me2-H4K16ac) and histone H3 methylated at ‘Lys-4’ and histone H4 acetylated at ‘Lys-14’ (H3K4me1-H3K14ac) (PubMed:26655721, PubMed:27477906, PubMed:31965980, PubMed:36064715). May act as a transcriptional corepressor for KDM5D by recognizing the dual histone signature H3K4me1-H3K14ac (PubMed:27477906). May also act as a transcriptional corepressor for KDM5C and EZH2 (PubMed:33323928). Recognizes acetylated histone H4 and recruits the NuRD chromatin remodeling complex to damaged chromatin for transcriptional repression and double-strand break repair by homologous recombination (PubMed:25593309, PubMed:27732854, PubMed:30134174). Also activates transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II through recruiting the P-TEFb complex to target promoters (PubMed:26655721, PubMed:30134174). Localizes to H3.1K36me2-H4K16ac marks at all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-responsive genes and positively regulates their expression (PubMed:26655721). Promotes neuronal differentiation by associating with regulatory regions within the MAPT gene, to enhance transcription of a protein-coding MAPT isoform and suppress the non-coding MAPT213 isoform (PubMed:30134174, PubMed:35916866, PubMed:36064715). Suppresses breast cancer, and prostate cancer cell invasion and metastasis (PubMed:27477906, PubMed:31965980, PubMed:33323928).
