Disease relevance of TFCP2

  • We report that both YY1 and LSF participate in the formation of a complex that recognizes the initiation region of the HIV-1 LTR [1].
  • YY1 and LSF may establish transcriptional and virological latency of HIV, a state that has recently been recognized in vivo and has significant implications for the long-term treatment of AIDS [2].
  • RESULTS: After exposure to any of 4 different polyamides that specifically block HDAC-1 recruitment by LSF to the HIV promoter, replication-competent HIV was recovered from cultures of resting CD4+ T cells in 6 of 8 HIV-infected patients whose viremia had been suppressed by therapy [3].
  • The transcription factor LSF, identified as a HeLa protein that binds the simian virus 40 late promoter, recognizes direct repeats with a center-to-center spacing of 10 bp [4].
  • In addition to its role in regulating SAA3 gene expression, we provide evidence that SEF could also bind in a sequence-specific manner to the promoters of the alpha(2)-macroglobulin and Aalpha-fibrinogen genes and to an intronic enhancer of the human Wilm's tumor 1 gene, suggesting a functional role in the regulation of these genes [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on TFCP2

  • The transcriptional factor LBP-1c/CP2/LSF gene on chromosome 12 is a genetic determinant of Alzheimer's disease [6].
  • We studied whether pretreatment levels of learned helplessness (LH) were related to outcomes for substance-dependent individuals receiving high-structure, behaviorally oriented (HSB) or low-structure, facilitative (LSF) treatment [7].
 

High impact information on TFCP2

  • Surprisingly, CP1, CP2, and NF-I each appear to recognize their binding site with highest affinity as a multisubunit complex composed of heterologous subunits [8].
  • Mitogenic stimulation of resting T cells causes rapid phosphorylation of the transcription factor LSF and increased DNA-binding activity [9].
  • This modulation of LSF-DNA-binding activity as T cells progress from a resting to a replicating state reveals that LSF activity is regulated during cell growth and suggests that LSF regulates growth-responsive promoters [9].
  • This serum-induced CCAAT factor also bound CCAAT sequences from other promoters, for example, those of human heat shock protein 70, human c-Ha-ras, and human histone 1, but not to the adenovirus origin of replication or the SV40 enhancer core sequence, suggesting that it was related to CP1 or CP2 [10].
  • LSF activates transcription from the SV40 late promoter in vitro from initiation site L325, via its binding to the template DNA [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of TFCP2

  • The only significant difference in toxicities occurring through the eighth dose of IL-2 was in the maximum elevation of serum creatinine (mean, 1.7 +/- 0.8 for placebo versus 1.5 +/- 0.6 mg/dl for LSF, P = 0.013) [12].
  • RESULTS: Loss of consciousness was accurately monitored by BIS, SEMG and SEF 95%, and propofol drug effect by BIS only [13].

Anatomical context of TFCP2

 

Associations of TFCP2 with chemical compounds

  • Glutathione S-transferase pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that two HXPR motif-containing proteins REST and YY1 indeed were able to bind CP2 [19].
  • Four guanine residues within the LSF-GC site, when methylated, strongly interfere with LSF binding [11].
  • LSF binds specifically to the 21-base-pair repeats of the SV40 promoters, forming specific protein-DNA complexes, which migrate more rapidly through nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels than that formed by the previously identified transcription factor Sp1 [21].
  • Double labeling experiments with CP1 and CP2, respectively, and a murine anti-chymase mAb demonstrated the presence of HMC-CP in the tryptase-positive, chymase-positive mast cell type (MCTC) only [22].
  • CT1501R (lisofylline; LSF) is one of several methyl xanthine congeners that inhibit the effects of TNF by the interruption of specific signal transduction pathways [12].
 

Physical interactions of TFCP2

  • Using an epitope-counting method, we show that LSF binds DNA as a homodimer [4].
