Disease relevance of MZF1

 

High impact information on MZF1

 

Biological context of MZF1

 

Anatomical context of MZF1

  • These results indicate that Sp1/Sp3 and MZF1 are important transcription factors regulating N-cadherin promoter activity and expression in osteoblasts [6].
  • These results indicate that Sp1 and MZF1 are involved in the transcriptional regulation of the hST6GalNAc IV gene in Jurkat T cells [10].
  • Human Rex-1 (hRex-1) (also referred to as zinc-finger protein-42, Zfp42) encodes a zinc finger protein expression of which is believed to be characteristic of pluripotent stem cells [11].
 

Associations of MZF1 with chemical compounds

  • Identification of a novel SCAN box-related protein that interacts with MZF1B. The leucine-rich SCAN box mediates hetero- and homoprotein associations [7].
  • A retinoic acid-responsive human zinc finger gene, MZF-1, preferentially expressed in myeloid cells [12].
  • PKCalpha expression regulated by Elk-1 and MZF-1 in human HCC cells [13].
  • Glutathione-S-transferase pull-down assays showed that the MZF1 SCAN domain self-associates, and a K(d) value of 600 nM was measured by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence polarization [14].
 

Physical interactions of MZF1

  • The C-subunit of NFY was demonstrated to form a ternary complex with MZF-1/FHL3 and interact with a beta-chain gene region including the element in the fourth intron [5].
 

Regulatory relationships of MZF1

  • We also found that GM-CSF induced expression of MZF-1 and nuclear translocation of FHL3 [5].
  • Overexpression of FHL3 in KU812 cells suppressed the beta-chain promoter activity through the element in the fourth intron in an MZF-1-dependent manner [15].
 

Other interactions of MZF1

  • Collectively, these results indicated that HDACs, which were recruited to the beta-chain gene through the element in the fourth intron by MZF-1/FHL3/NFY, repressed beta-chain gene transcription by deacetylation of histones in the presence of GM-CSF [5].
  • RT-PCR analysis showed that human osteoblastic cells express MZF1 and that Sp1/MZF1 overexpression increased N-cadherin expression [6].
  • Co-immunoprecipitation assays demonstrate that the SCAN box domain of MZF1B is necessary for association with RAZ1 [7].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MZF1

  • However, at least three transcripts of approximately 3, 7.5, and 9kb are detected by MZF1-specific probes in northern blot analysis and the identity of the transcripts has not been addressed [9].
  • Further analysis by electrophoretic mobility shift assays using specific competitors and antibody revealed that Sp1 and MZF1 nuclear proteins interacted with these elements [10].
  • Site-directed mutagenesis and transient transfection assays demonstrated that Sp1 and MZF1 elements in this region were required for the promoter activity [10].
  • Furthermore, results from pull-down assays and gel-filtration chromatography employing nuclear extracts indicated that MZF-1 and FHL3 formed a complex of high molecular mass with some additional proteins in the nucleus [15].
  • Southwestern blots and UV cross-linking experiments identified myeloid zinc finger-1 (MZF-1) as a candidate transcription factor among proteins binding to the -250FP1 and FP2 sequences [16].
