DESCRIPTION

Also known as TIF1B_HUMAN, TRIM28, KAP1, RNF96, TIF1B. Nuclear corepressor for KRAB domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs). Mediates gene silencing by recruiting CHD3, a subunit of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex, and SETDB1 (which specifically methylates histone H3 at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me)) to the promoter regions of KRAB target genes. Enhances transcriptional repression by coordinating the increase in H3K9me, the decrease in histone H3 'Lys-9 and 'Lys-14' acetylation (H3K9ac and H3K14ac, respectively) and the disposition of HP1 proteins to silence gene expression. Recruitment of SETDB1 induces heterochromatinization. May play a role as a coactivator for CEBPB and NR3C1 in the transcriptional activation of ORM1. Also corepressor for ERBB4. Inhibits E2F1 activity by stimulating E2F1-HDAC1 complex formation and inhibiting E2F1 acetylation. May serve as a partial backup to prevent E2F1-mediated apoptosis in the absence of RB1. Important regulator of CDKN1A/p21(CIP1). Has E3 SUMO-protein ligase activity toward itself via its PHD-type zinc finger. Also specifically sumoylates IRF7, thereby inhibiting its transactivation activity. Ubiquitinates p53/TP53 leading to its proteosomal degradation; the function is enhanced by MAGEC2 and MAGEA2, and possibly MAGEA3 and MAGEA6. Mediates the nuclear localization of KOX1, ZNF268 and ZNF300 transcription factors. In association with isoform 2 of ZFP90, is required for the transcriptional repressor activity of FOXP3 and the suppressive function of regulatory T-cells (Treg) (PubMed:23543754). Probably forms a corepressor complex required for activated KRAS-mediated promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) or other tumor-related genes in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (PubMed:24623306). Required to maintain a transcriptionally repressive state of genes in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells (ESCs) (PubMed:24623306). In ESCs, in collaboration with SETDB1, is also required for H3K9me3 and silencing of endogenous and introduced retroviruses in a DNA-methylation independent-pathway (By similarity). Associates at promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) leading to their gene silencing (PubMed:24623306). The SETDB1-TRIM28-ZNF274 complex may play a role in recruiting ATRX to the 3'-exons of zinc-finger coding genes with atypical chromatin signatures to establish or maintain/protect H3K9me3 at these transcriptionally active regions (PubMed:27029610). Acts as a corepressor for ZFP568 (By similarity)., (Microbial infection) Plays a critical role in the shutdown of lytic gene expression during the early stage of herpes virus 8 primary infection. This inhibition is mediated through interaction with herpes virus 8 protein LANA1. Interacts with SETX (PubMed:23149945). Oligomer; the RBCC domain homotrimerizes and interacts with one molecule of KRAB to form the KRAB-KAP1 corepressor complex. Binding to a KRAB domain is an absolute requirement for silencing gene expression. Interacts with CEBPB and NR3C1. Interacts with a number of KRAB-ZFP proteins including ZNF10, ZFP53, ZFP68, ZNF382 and ZNF256. Interacts with NCOR1, NR3C1 and CHD3. Interacts with CEBPB (via the RING-type and PHD-type zinc fingers). Component of a ternary complex that includes TRIM28, a HP1 protein (CBX1, CBX3 OR CBX5), a KRAB domain-containing protein, and DNA. Interacts with CBX5 (via the PxVxL motif); the interaction occurs in interphase nuclei and competes for binding POGZ. Interacts with POGZ; the interaction competes for interaction with CBX5. Interacts with SETDB1; the interaction is enhanced by KAP1 sumoylation, stimulates SETDB1 histone methyltransferase activity and gene silencing. Interacts (via the PHD-type zinc finger) with UBE2I; the interaction is required for sumoylation and repressor activity. Component of the TRIM28/KAP1-ERBB4-MDM2 complex involved in connecting growth factor and DNA damage responses. Interacts directly with ERBB4; the interaction represses ERBB4-mediated transcription activity. Interacts with MDM2; the interaction contributes to p53/TP53 inactivation. Component of the TRIM28/KAP1-MDM2-p53/TP53; involved in regulating p53/TP53 stabilization and activity. Interacts (via the leucine zipper alpha helical coiled-coil) with E2F1 (central region); the interaction inhibits E2F1 acetylation and transcriptional activity. Interacts with PPP1CA; the interaction dephosphorylates TRIM28 at Ser-824 and forms a complex at the p21 promoter site. Interacts with PPP1CB; the interaction is weak but is increased on dephosphorylation at Ser-824. Interacts with FES/FPS. Interacts with SMARCAD1. Interacts with, and sumoylates IRF7. Interacts with MAGEC2. Part of a complex composed of TRIM28, HDAC1, HDAC2 and EHMT2 (PubMed:21549307). Interacts with AICDA (By similarity). Interacts (via the RBCC domain) with KOX1 (via the KRAB domain), ZNF268 (via the KRAB domain) and ZNF300 (via the KRAB domain); the interactions increase KOX1, ZNF268 and ZNF300 nuclear localization activities. The large PER complex involved in the histone methylation is composed of at least PER2, CBX3, TRIM28, SUV39H1 and/or SUV39H2; CBX3 mediates the formation of the complex. Interacts with isoform 2 of ZFP90. Forms a complex with FOXP3 in the presence of isoform 2 of ZFP90. Interacts with NR4A3; the interactions potentiates NR4A3 activity on NurRE promoter (By similarity). Interacts (unphosphorylated or phosphorylated form) with ZBTB1 (via BTB domain) (PubMed:24657165). Probably part of a corepressor complex containing ZNF304, TRIM28, SETDB1 and DNMT1 (PubMed:24623306). Interacts with ATRX. Forms a complex with ATRX, SETDB1 and ZNF274 (PubMed:27029610). Interacts with ZFP568; the interaction mediates ZFP568 transcriptional repression activity (By similarity). Interacts with RRP1B (PubMed:19710015). Interacts with CRY1 (By similarity). Interacts with ZNF263; recruited to the SIX3 promoter along with other proteins involved in chromatin modification and transcriptional corepression where it contributes to transcriptional repression (PubMed:32051553). Interacts with CYREN (via XLF motif) (By similarity). Interacts with TRIM17; this interaction prevents TRIM28 activity (PubMed:30042493).
