Unanticipated repression function linked to erythroid Krüppel-like factor.
The erythroid cell-specific transcription factor erythroid Krüppel-like factor (EKLF) is an important activator of beta-globin gene expression. It achieves this by binding to the CACCC element at the beta-globin promoter via its zinc finger domain. The coactivators CBP and P300 interact with, acetylate, and enhance its activity, helping to explain its role as a transcription activator. Here we ...
متن کاملErythroid Krüppel-like factor directly activates the basic Krüppel-like factor gene in erythroid cells.
The Sp/Krüppel-like factor (Sp/Klf) family is comprised of around 25 zinc finger transcription factors that recognize CACCC boxes and GC-rich elements. We have investigated basic Krüppel-like factor (Bklf/Klf3) and show that in erythroid tissues its expression is highly dependent on another family member, erythroid Krüppel-like factor (Eklf/Klf1). We observe that Bklf mRNA is significantly redu...
متن کاملActivation of beta-globin promoter by erythroid Krüppel-like factor.
Erythroid Krüppel-like factor (EKLF), an erythroid tissue-specific Krüppel-type zinc finger protein, binds to the beta-globin gene CACCC box and is essential for beta-globin gene expression. EKLF does not activate the gamma gene, the CACCC sequence of which differs from that of the beta gene. To test whether the CACCC box sequence difference is the primary determinant of the selective activatio...
متن کاملFunctional interaction of GATA1 with erythroid Krüppel-like factor and Sp1 at defined erythroid promoters.
GATA and CACC elements commonly are codistributed within the regulatory domains of a variety of erythroid genes. Using Drosophila S2 cells, the actions of GATA1, Sp1, and erythroid Kruppel-like factor (EKLF) at these elements within model erythroid promoters have been assessed. For each promoter studied (erythroid pyruvate kinase, glycophorin B, and a murine betamaj globin-derived construct, GC...
متن کاملEpigenetic repression of Krüppel-like factor 4 through Dnmt1 contributes to EMT in renal fibrosis
Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a transcription factor which plays divergent roles in a number of physiological or pathological process. However, the expression and role of KLF4 in renal fibrosis remain undetermined. The aim of the present study was to determine the epigenetic alterations of KLF4 and its potential role and mechanisms of action in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in re...
