Disease relevance of NAB1

 

High impact information on NAB1

  • This NGFI-A-binding protein, NAB1, is a 570-aa nuclear protein that bears no obvious sequence homology to known proteins [3].
  • Overexpression of Egr-2 and Egr-3 induced endogenous ligand upregulation that was inhibited by overexpression of Egr-specific inhibitor Nab1 [4].
  • The human NAB1 genomic locus was mapped to chromosome 2q32.3-33 [5].
  • Replacement mutagenesis of residues conserved between these proteins interfered with Nab1 repression, although Nab1 does not function by the same mechanism as Dr1 [5].
  • We have isolated and characterized another corepressor, NAB2, which is highly related to NAB1 within two discrete domains [6].
 

Biological context of NAB1

 

Anatomical context of NAB1

 

Physical interactions of NAB1

  • Therefore, we hypothesized that mutations in the EGR2-interacting domains of NAB1 and NAB2 might be associated with the pathogenesis of inherited peripheral neuropathies in currently unexplained cases [1].
  • Thus, the biological function of the inhibitory domain of Egr-1 is solely to provide a docking site for NAB1 via protein-protein interaction [8].
 

Other interactions of NAB1

  • Overexpression studies revealed that NAB1 is able to completely block transcription mediated by Egr-1 [8].
