The MIER family consists of three related genes encoding ELM2-SANT containing proteins. MIER1 is known to function in transcriptional repression through its ability to recruit HDAC1 and 2. MIER2 and MIER3 share a specific region of high homology, located upstream of the ELM2 domain (aa 98-149). This sequence is 87% identical in MIER2 and 3, but only 35% and 33%, respectively, to MIER1. MIER2 and MIER3 are mainly localized in the nucleus. MIER2, but not MIER3 complexes, have associated deacetylase activity. Only MIER2 can recruit HDAC1 and 2 activity, but this depends on cell type, and it does not do so as effectively as MIER1α. HDAC recruitment occurs through the ELM2 domain.
