DESCRIPTION

Also known as DEAF1_HUMAN, DEAF1, SPN, ZMYND5. Transcription factor that binds to sequence with multiple copies of 5'-TTC[CG]G-3' present in its own promoter and that of the HNRPA2B1 gene. Down-regulates transcription of these genes. Binds to the retinoic acid response element (RARE) 5'-AGGGTTCACCGAAAGTTCA-3'. Activates the proenkephalin gene independently of promoter binding, probably through protein-protein interaction. When secreted, behaves as an inhibitor of cell proliferation, by arresting cells in the G0 or G1 phase. Required for neural tube closure and skeletal patterning. Regulates epithelial cell proliferation and side-branching in the mammary gland. Controls the expression of peripheral tissue antigens in pancreatic lymph nodes. Isoform 1 displays greater transcriptional activity than isoform 4. Isoform 4 may inhibit transcriptional activity of isoform 1 by interacting with isoform 1 and retaining it in the cytoplasm. Transcriptional activator of EIF4G3. Homodimer. Isoform 1 and isoform 4 may form a heterodimer. Interacts with LMO2 and CLIM2 (By similarity). Interacts with LMO4; LMO4 blocks export from nucleus (By similarity). May interact with the corepressors NCOR1 and NCRO2. Identified in a complex with the XRCC5 and XRCC6 heterodimer. Interacts (via the SAND domain) with the DNA-PK complex subunit XRCC6; the interaction is direct and may be inhibited by DNA-binding.
