Par4 is a coactivator for a splice isoform-specific transcriptional activation domain in WT1.
The Wilms' tumor suppressor protein WT1 is a transcriptional regulator involved in differentiation and the regulation of cell growth. WT1 is subject to alternative splicing, one isoform including a 17-amino acid region that is specific to mammals. The function of this 17-amino acid insertion is not clear, however. Here, we describe a transcriptional activation domain in WT1 that is specific to ...

متن کاملThe Wilms' tumor suppressor gene (wt1) product represses different functional classes of transcriptional activation domains.
We have studied the ability of the wt1 tumor suppressor gene product to repress different classes of activation domains previously shown to stimulate the initiation and elongation steps of RNA polymerase II transcription in vivo. Repression assays revealed that WT1 represses all three classes of activation domains: Sp1 and CTF, which stimulate initiation (type I), human immunodeficiency virus t...
متن کاملPINCH1 Is Transcriptional Regulator in Podocytes That Interacts with WT1 and Represses Podocalyxin Expression
BACKGROUND PINCH1, an adaptor protein containing five LIM domains, plays an important role in regulating the integrin-mediated cell adhesion, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. PINCH1 is induced in the fibrotic kidney after injury, and it primarily localizes at the sites of focal adhesion. Whether it can translocate to the nucleus and directly participate in gene regulation is com...
متن کاملWilms tumor suppressor, Wt1, is a transcriptional activator of the erythropoietin gene.
Molecular mechanisms for the developmental stage and tissue-specific regulation of the erythropoietin (EPO) gene are poorly understood. Recent findings indicate a role of the Wilms tumor suppressor, Wt1, in the formation of the hematopoietic system. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that Wt1 is a transcriptional regulator of the EPO gene. Binding of the transcriptionally competent Wt1(-KTS) isof...
