Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 32 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the 1960 bp ZBTB32 gene. The 52 kDa protein (487 aa) is a transcriptional repressor and the gene is expressed in T and B cells upon activation, but also significantly in testis cells. It is a member of the Poxviruses and Zinc-finger (POZ) and Krüppel (POK) family of proteins, [5] [6] and was identified in multiple screens involving either immune cell tumorigenesis or immune cell development.
The protein recruits histone modification enzymes to chromatin to affect gene activation. [7] ZBTB32 recruits corepressors, such as N-CoR and HDACs to its target genes, induces repressive chromatin states and acts cooperatively with other proteins, e.g. with Blimp-1, [7] to suppress the transcription of genes . [7]
It contains a N-terminal BTB/POZ domain (IPR000210) or a SKP1/BTB/POZ domain (IPR011333), and three C-terminal zinc fingers, Znf_C2H2_sf. (IPR036236), Znf_C2H2_type domain (IPR013087), a Znf_RING/FYVE/PHD domain (IPR013083), followed by a putative UBZ4 domain. [8]
Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 32 is also known as:
Zbtb32 has been shown to interact with:
The expression of ZBTB32 is induced by inflammatory cytokines and promotes proliferation of natural killer cells. [14]
Zbtb32 knockout mice show a trend to develop type 1 diabetes, although the difference is not statistically different. Furthermore the Zbtb32 do not show a difference in lymphocyte proliferation, possibly due to compensation from other genes. [15]
ZBTB32 is highly expressed in spermatogonial stem cells, in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and appears to suppress the immune system by silencing the CIITA gene. [16]
The transcription factor gene GATA3 is altered in mammary tumors. Down-regulation of GATA3 expression and activity by the Zinc-finger elbow-related proline domain protein 2 (Zpo2), whereas Zbtb32 facilitates Zpo2 targeting to the GATA3 promoter, results in the development of aggressive breast cancers. [12]
A DNA methylation correlation network was built based on the methylation correlation between differentially methylated genes. A survival analysis of candidate biomarkers was performed. One of eight biomarkers and hub genes identified in colon cancer is ZBTB32. [17]
The expression of Zbtb32 is upregulated after exposure to cisplatin. [18]
Zinc finger protein GLI1 also known as glioma-associated oncogene is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLI1 gene. It was originally isolated from human glioblastoma cells.
The Krüppel associated box (KRAB) domain is a category of transcriptional repression domains present in approximately 400 human zinc finger protein-based transcription factors. The KRAB domain typically consists of about 75 amino acid residues, while the minimal repression module is approximately 45 amino acid residues. It is predicted to function through protein-protein interactions via two amphipathic helices. The most prominent interacting protein is called TRIM28 initially visualized as SMP1, cloned as KAP1 and TIF1-beta. Substitutions for the conserved residues abolish repression.
Bcl-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCL6 gene. BCL6 is a master transcription factor for regulation of T follicular helper cells proliferation. BCL6 has three evolutionary conserved structural domains. The interaction of these domains with corepressors allows for germinal center development and leads to B cell proliferation.
Paired amphipathic helix protein Sin3a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIN3A gene.
Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB16 gene.
Fanconi anemia group C protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCC gene. This protein delays the onset of apoptosis and promotes homologous recombination repair of damaged DNA. Mutations in this gene result in Fanconi anemia, a human rare disorder characterized by cancer susceptibility and cellular sensitivity to DNA crosslinks and other damages.
Fanconi anaemia, complementation group A, also known as FAA, FACA and FANCA, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the FANCA gene. It belongs to the Fanconi anaemia complementation group (FANC) family of genes of which 12 complementation groups are currently recognized and is hypothesised to operate as a post-replication repair or a cell cycle checkpoint. FANCA proteins are involved in inter-strand DNA cross-link repair and in the maintenance of normal chromosome stability that regulates the differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells into mature blood cells.
Fanconi anemia group D2 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCD2 gene. The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ, FANCL, FANCM, FANCN and FANCO.
Fanconi anemia group G protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FANCG gene.
Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB17 gene.
Transcription regulator protein BACH1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BACH1 gene.
Transcriptional regulator Kaiso is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB33 gene. This gene encodes a transcriptional regulator with bimodal DNA-binding specificity, which binds to methylated CGCG and also to the non-methylated consensus KAISO-binding site TCCTGCNA. The protein contains an N-terminal POZ/BTB domain and 3 C-terminal zinc finger motifs. It recruits the N-CoR repressor complex to promote histone deacetylation and the formation of repressive chromatin structures in target gene promoters. It may contribute to the repression of target genes of the Wnt signaling pathway, and may also activate transcription of a subset of target genes by the recruitment of catenin delta-2 (CTNND2). Its interaction with catenin delta-1 (CTNND1) inhibits binding to both methylated and non-methylated DNA. It also interacts directly with the nuclear import receptor Importin-α2, which may mediate nuclear import of this protein. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.
RING finger protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RNF4 gene.
Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 7A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB7A gene.
Zinc finger protein 238 is a zinc finger containing transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the ZNF238 gene.
POZ-, AT hook-, and zinc finger-containing protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PATZ1 gene.
Zinc finger protein 24 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZNF24 gene.
Zinc finger protein 161 homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZBTB14 gene.
The BTB/POZ domain is a structural domain found in proteins across the domain Eukarya. Given its prevalence in eukaryotes and its absence in Archaea and bacteria, it likely arose after the origin of eukaryotes. While primarily a protein-protein interaction domain, some BTB domains have additional functionality in transcriptional regulation, cytoskeletal mobility, protein ubiquitination and degradation, and ion channel formation and operation. BTB domains have traditionally been classified by the other structural features present in the protein.
In molecular biology, the BEN domain is a protein domain which is found in diverse proteins including:
