ZNF383 Gene

HGNC Family Zinc fingers
Name zinc finger protein 383
Description The protein encoded by this gene is a KRAB-related zinc finger protein that inhibits the transcription of some MAPK signaling pathway genes. The repressor activity resides in the KRAB domain of the encoded protein. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nZNF383 is a KRAB-related zinc finger protein identified from an early embryonic heart cDNA library that functions as a transcriptional repressor. The cDNA encodes a 475–amino acid protein highly conserved across species and is expressed in most adult and embryonic tissues, with prominent expression in skeletal muscle. Localization studies indicate that ZNF383 is present in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, and its repressor activity is mediated by its KRAB box. Notably, overexpression of ZNF383 inhibits the transcriptional activities of AP-1 and serum response elements (SRE), suggesting that it acts as a negative regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition to its role in modulating MAPK-mediated transcription, ZNF383 has been shown to impede p53-dependent apoptotic signaling and interferon-β pathway activation. It achieves this by reducing the local enrichment of H3K36me2 at p53 binding sites, thereby attenuating p53’s interaction with its target genes. ZNF383 is part of a larger cluster of KRAB zinc finger proteins on human chromosome 19q13.12 that generally exhibit p53-repressive activities. Within these proteins, an acidic amino acid–rich SAcL motif has been identified as critical for the interaction with p53, pointing to a conserved mechanism by which this class of transcription factors modulates tumor suppressor functions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Lei Cao, Zhi Wang, Chuanbing Zhu, et al.
