Disease relevance of FOXG1B

 

Psychiatry related information on FOXG1B

 

High impact information on FOXG1B

  • This analysis revealed that the human QIN gene maps to chromosome region 14q11.2-->14q32, between the TCR and IGH loci [6].
  • Chromosomal mapping of the human QIN gene (renamed FKH2 by the Human Genome Organization Nomenclature Committee) was initially accomplished by correlation of the presence of the QIN locus with specific chromosome regions in a rodent-human hybrid panel [6].
  • DNA-binding protein blotting, UV crosslinking, and electroelution experiments were used to characterize the two hMREa-binding factors, termed BF1 and BF2 [7].
  • It is shown here that BF-1 interacts in vivo with global transcriptional corepressors of the Groucho family and also associates with the histone deacetylase 1 protein [8].
  • Taken together with the demonstration that these proteins are coexpressed in telencephalic neural progenitor cells, these results also suggest that complexes of BF-1, Groucho, and Hes factors may be involved in the regulation of progenitor cell differentiation in the telencephalon [8].
 

Biological context of FOXG1B

 

Anatomical context of FOXG1B

  • Some unusual T-cell phenotypes, with respect to the pattern of expression of BF1 antigen and CD3, were observed [1].
  • BF1 was superior to the other two antibodies, especially for lymphoid cells in cytospin preparations [1].
  • These antibodies were all satisfactory in the staining of normal peripheral lymphoid tissues and cortical thymic lymphocytes were reactive with BF1 and BF2 but not with WT31 [1].
 

Associations of FOXG1B with chemical compounds

  • When this metronidazole time course was simulated in vitro, the time to 99.9% kill ranged from 1.0 to 1.4 h for BF125 and from 1.8 to 3.5 h for BF1, while the eradication time ranged from 1.7 to 2.5 h and from 3.4 to 6.5 h, respectively [13].
 

Physical interactions of FOXG1B

  • At the genomic level the gene for HBF-1 contains an 500 bp intron situated between the DNA binding domain II and the fork head domain while that of HBF-2 is intronless [9].
 

Other interactions of FOXG1B

  • Because both BF-1 and PAX proteins interact with members of the groucho co-repressor family, it is plausible that PLU-1 has a role in groucho-mediated transcriptional repression [14].
  • HFK2 and HFK3 were found to be closely related but different from HFK1 [15].
  • Repression of CDC28 reduces the expression of the morphology-related transcription factors, Efg1p, Nrg1p, Rbf1p, Rim101p, Fkh2p and Tec1p and induces cell elongation in Candida albicans [16].
