Disease relevance of NFIX

  • Binding sites for CTF in the human Ha-ras and alpha-globin promoters were highly homologous to sequences recognized by nuclear factor I (NF-I), a cellular DNA-binding protein that is required for the initiation of adenovirus DNA replication in vitro [1].
  • A mammary cell-specific enhancer in mouse mammary tumor virus DNA is composed of multiple regulatory elements including binding sites for CTF/NFI and a novel transcription factor, mammary cell-activating factor [2].
  • JC virus susceptibility correlated with significantly higher expression of the NFI-X transcription factor in astrocytes than in neurons [3].
  • In the present report, we examine the disposition of PS NTF and CTF assemblies in stable mouse N2a neuroblastoma cell lines expressing human PS polypeptides [4].
  • A single local s.c. injection of PLGA microspheres loaded with low amounts of PEX or PF-4/CTF resulted in an 88% and 95% reduction in glioma tumor volume 30 days post-treatment [5].
 

High impact information on NFIX

  • We studied a model viral chromosome containing a single binding site for the cellular transcriptional activator, nuclear factor I (NF-I/CTF), located adjacent to the replication origin [6].
  • CTF and NF-I were found to be indistinguishable in polypeptide composition, DNA-binding properties, immunological cross-reactivity, and in vitro stimulation of DNA replication and transcription initiation [1].
  • Together, these two domains constitute the full NFI-X transactivation potential [7].
  • Furthermore, transfection of an NFI-X expression vector into progenitor-derived neuronal cells before infection resulted in viral protein production [3].
  • In addition, we found, using isoform-specific siRNAs, that NFI-X regulates the astrocyte-specific expression of ACT and GFAP [8].
 

Biological context of NFIX

  • This property, combined with the differential expression of NFI-X, can achieve cell-type specificity of NFI dependent promoters and enhancers [9].
  • Cloning and functional analysis of spliced isoforms of human nuclear factor I-X: interference with transcriptional activation by NFI/CTF in a cell-type specific manner [9].
  • The activity of the nuclear factor I/CCAAT transcription factor (NFI/CTF) is negatively regulated by oxidative stress [10].
  • In this study, we determined the genomic organization and nucleotide sequences of the exon/intron boundaries of the rat Nfib, Nfic and Nfix genes in silico [11].
  • The adenovirus origin of DNA replication is located within the terminal 51 bp of the viral genome and contains three recognizable domains: the minimal origin or "core" and binding sites for the cellular transcription factors NFI (CTF) and NFIII (oct-1, OTF-I) [12].
 

Anatomical context of NFIX

 

Associations of NFIX with chemical compounds

  • The addition of relatively high (millimolar) H(2)O(2) concentrations inactivates cellular NFI DNA-binding activity whereas lower concentrations can repress NFI/CTF transactivating function [10].
  • The Nuclear Factor I (NFI) family of site-specific DNA-binding proteins (also known as CTF or CAAT box transcription factor) functions both in viral DNA replication and in the regulation of gene expression [15].
  • PS1 and PS2 are polytopic membrane proteins that undergo endoproteolytic cleavage to generate stable NH2- and COOH-terminal derivatives (NTF and CTF, respectively) [4].
  • We show that aspartate-mutant holoprotein presenilins are not incorporated into the high molecular weight, NTF/CTF-containing complexes [16].
 

Other interactions of NFIX

  • We propose that NFI-X cooperates with AP-1 by an unknown mechanism in astrocytes, which results in the expression of a subset of astrocyte-specific genes [8].
