Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nZNF282 acts as a transcriptional co-regulator in breast cancer by directly interacting with estrogen receptor α (ERα) and the coactivator CoCoA. Its SUMOylation enhances the binding affinity to both ERα and CoCoA, thereby synergistically promoting the recruitment of transcriptional complexes to estrogen-responsive gene promoters. This activity is essential for estrogen-induced gene expression, cell proliferation, and tumor formation, highlighting a crucial role for ZNF282 in mediating estrogen signaling and breast tumorigenesis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition to its function in breast cancer, ZNF282 has been identified as an important transcription factor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
