Disease relevance of RREB1

  • RREB-1, a novel zinc finger protein, is involved in the differentiation response to Ras in human medullary thyroid carcinomas [1].
 

High impact information on RREB1

  • Here we show that Finb/RREB-1 can associate with BETA2 to enhance its transcription-activating function [2].
  • We identified by expression cloning the zinc finger protein RREB-1, also known to exist as a longer form, Finb, as the protein binding to one of the mutationally sensitive elements [2].
  • Finb/RREB-1 lacks an intrinsic activation domain and by itself did not activate secretin gene transcription [2].
  • By affinity screening, we have cloned a cDNA coding for a zinc finger transcription factor (RREB-1) that binds to the distal RRE [1].
  • These data suggest that RREB-1 may play a role in Ras and Raf signal transduction in medullary thyroid cancer and other cells [1].
 

Biological context of RREB1

 

Anatomical context of RREB1

 

Associations of RREB1 with chemical compounds

  • Finb efficiently activates transcription from the promoters of the metallothionein and thymidine kinase genes [7].
 

Physical interactions of RREB1

 

Other interactions of RREB1

  • The Finb protein consists of 1656 amino acids, containing 15 C2H2-type zinc fingers and three proline-rich regions [7].
  • Progressive deletion analysis of LGA promoter-luciferase constructs indicated that the core promoter is located between nt -141 and +410, with several potential regulatory elements: CAAT, GC, TATA-like, Ras-responsive element binding protein and specificity protein 1 (Sp1) sites [9].
