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) | ||||
Zfp219 | Zinc finger protein 219; Transcriptional regulator. Recognizes and binds 2 copies of the core DNA sequence motif 5'-GGGGG-3'. Binds to the HMGN1 promoter and may repress HMGN1 expression (By similarity). Regulates SNCA expression in primary cortical neurons (By similarity). Binds to the COL2A1 promoter and activates COL2A1 expression, as part of a complex with SOX9. Plays a role in chondrocyte differentiation ; Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. (726 aa) |
