Maff | Transcription factor MafF; Since they lack a putative transactivation domain, the small Mafs behave as transcriptional repressors when they dimerize among themselves. However, they seem to serve as transcriptional activators by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins, such as NFE2L1/NRF1, and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites. Interacts with the upstream promoter region of the oxytocin receptor gene. May be a transcriptional enhancer in the up-regulation of the oxytocin receptor gene at parturition. (156 aa) | ||||
Zfp932 | Zinc finger protein 431; Sequence-specific DNA binding transcriptional repressor. Represses target gene transcription by recruiting HDAC1 and HDAC2 histone deacetylases. Acts as a specific transcriptional repressor for PTCH1 during embryonic development. Required for osteoblast differentiation and sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling response. Binds to the consensus site 5'-GCGCCC-3' in the promoter of PTCH1. (526 aa) |
