ZNF280B Gene

Name zinc finger protein 280B
Description The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that upregulates expression of MDM2, which negatively regulates p53 expression. This gene is highly expressed in prostate cancer cells, which leads to a reduction in p53 levels and an increase in growth of the cancer cells. Several transcript variants have been found for this gene, but only one of them is protein-coding. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nThe Zinc Finger protein 280B (ZNF280B) has been identified as a key promoter of prostate cancer cell growth and survival. Experimental perturbation of its expression reveals that ZNF280B not only up-regulates sGCα1 but also unexpectedly suppresses the tumor‐suppressor p53. Mechanistically, ZNF280B promotes the nuclear export of p53, thereby rendering it susceptible to proteasomal degradation, an effect that is mediated by its ability to transcriptionally activate the Mdm2 gene. This cascade of events effectively diminishes p53 levels in prostate cancer cells, contributing to enhanced proliferative and anti‐apoptotic capacities in these tumors."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Shuai Gao, Chen-Lin Hsieh, Jun Zhou, et al.
