Alpha-globin transcription factor CP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFCP2 gene. [5] [6]
TFCP2 is also called Late SV40 factor (LSF) and it is induced by well-known oncogene AEG-1. [7] LSF also acts as an oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma. [8] LSF enhances angiogenesis by transcriptionally up-regulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). [9]
Along with its main oncogene function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it plays multifaceted role in chemoresistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), allergic response, inflammation and Alzheimer's disease. [8] [10] The small molecule FQI1 (factor quinolinone inhibitor 1) prevents LSF from binding with HCC DNA, which results in HCC cell death. [8] [10] [11]
TFCP2 has been shown to interact with APBB1 [12] and RNF2. [13]
Transcription factor Sp1, also known as specificity protein 1* is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SP1 gene.
Transcription factor Jun is a protein that in humans is encoded by the JUN gene. c-Jun, in combination with protein c-Fos, forms the AP-1 early response transcription factor. It was first identified as the Fos-binding protein p39 and only later rediscovered as the product of the JUN gene. c-jun was the first oncogenic transcription factor discovered. The proto-oncogene c-Jun is the cellular homolog of the viral oncoprotein v-jun. The viral homolog v-jun was discovered in avian sarcoma virus 17 and was named for ju-nana, the Japanese word for 17. The human JUN encodes a protein that is highly similar to the viral protein, which interacts directly with specific target DNA sequences to regulate gene expression. This gene is intronless and is mapped to 1p32-p31, a chromosomal region involved in both translocations and deletions in human malignancies.
Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HDAC1 gene.
Retinoblastoma-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBL2 gene.
Transcription factor RelB is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RELB gene.
The proto-oncogene c-Rel is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REL gene. The c-Rel protein is a member of the NF-κB family of transcription factors and contains a Rel homology domain (RHD) at its N-terminus and two C-terminal transactivation domains. c-Rel is a myeloid checkpoint protein that can be targeted for treating cancer. c-Rel has an important role in B-cell survival and proliferation. The REL gene is amplified or mutated in several human B-cell lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Protein C-ETS2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ETS2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors. It has been found to play a key role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease.
Transcription factor E2F3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the E2F3 gene.
Activating transcription factor 6, also known as ATF6, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ATF6 gene and is involved in the unfolded protein response.
YY1 is a transcriptional repressor protein in humans that is encoded by the YY1 gene.
Amyloid beta A4 precursor protein-binding family B member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APBB1 gene.
Cell division protein kinase 8 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDK8 gene.
Zinc finger protein 148 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF148 gene.
Sin3A-associated protein, 30kDa, also known as SAP30, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SAP30 gene.
Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing protein 1 also known as 100 kDa coactivator or Tudor domain-containing protein 11 (TDRD11) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SND1 gene. SND1 is a main component of RISC complex and plays an important role in miRNA function. SND1 is Tudor domain containing protein and Tudor Proteins are highly conserved proteins and even present in Drosophila melanogaster. SND1 is also involved in Autism.
Transcription factor MafG is a bZip Maf transcription factor protein that in humans is encoded by the MAFG gene.
Bromodomain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRD4 gene.
Transcription factor MafK is a bZip Maf transcription factor protein that in humans is encoded by the MAFK gene.
RING1 and YY1-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RYBP gene.
Metadherin, also known as protein LYRIC or astrocyte elevated gene-1 protein (AEG-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MTDH gene.
