| Short Name | ING2 |
| description | Members of the ING (inhibitor of growth protein) family of tumour suppressors regulate cell cycle progression, senescence, apoptosis, and DNA repair as important cofactors of p53. Inhibitorof growth protein 2 (ING2) seems to be involved in p53/TP53 activation and p53/TP53-dependent apoptotic pathways, probably by enhancing acetylation of p53/TP53 []. It is also a component of a chromatin-modifying complex containing the transcriptional co-repressor SIN3A and HDAC1 (histone deacetylase 1), which is involved in deacetylation of nucleosomal histones [, ]. The stability of ING2 is regulated by nuclear phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate at discrete chromatin targets in response to DNA damage [, ]. |
