Nuclear receptors, including the androgen receptor (AR), regulate
target cell transcription through interaction with auxiliary proteins
to modify chromatin structure. We describe herein a novel AR-interacting protein, termed ARIP4, that has structural features typical of the SNF2-like protein family. With regard to the Snf2 domain, the closest homolog of ARIP4 is the ATRX protein. ARIP4 is a
nuclear protein and comprises 1466 amino acids. It interacts with AR in
vitro and in cultured yeast and mammalian cells. ARIP4 can be labeled
with 8-azido-[

-32P]ATP and exhibits DNA-dependent
ATPase activity. Like several ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling
proteins, ARIP4 generates superhelical torsion within linear DNA
fragments in an ATP-dependent manner. With a stably integrated target
promoter, ARIP4 elicits a modest enhancement of AR-dependent
transactivation. In transient cotransfection assays, ARIP4 modulates AR
function in a promoter-dependent manner; it enhances receptor activity
on minimal promoters, but does not activate more complex promoters.
ARIP4 mutants devoid of ATPase activity fail to alter DNA topology and
behave as trans-dominant negative regulators of AR
function in transient assays.
