Disease relevance of KLF11

  • The fact that this function of KLF11 is inhibited by oncogenic Erk/mitogen-activated protein kinase in pancreatic cancer cells emphasizes the importance of this mechanism for oncogenesis [1].
  • KLF11-regulated functions require the Mad1-like SID, indicating that these target genes involved in these phenomena are regulated via this corepressor system [2].
  • KLF11 expression renders cells more sensitive to oxidative drugs, an effect that is rescued by infection with recombinant adenoviruses expressing SOD2 and Catalase1 [2].
  • Further characterization of these ABM cultures was determined by following mRNA expression for the transcription factors erythroid Kruppel-like factor (EKLF) and fetal Kruppel-like factor (FKLF) as a function of time in cultures under hypoxia and normoxia [3].

Biological context of KLF11

 

Anatomical context of KLF11

 

Associations of KLF11 with chemical compounds

  • A common glutamine-to-arginine change at codon 62 (Q62R) in its gene KLF11 has been recently associated with type 2 diabetes in two independent samples [8].
  • Neither the Q62R nor any other common variant in KLF11 was associated with T2D in the Pima population [9].
 

Physical interactions of KLF11

 

Regulatory relationships of KLF11

  • In luciferase assays FKLF activated the gamma- and epsilon-globin gene promoters, and, to a much lower degree, the beta-globin promoter [7].
  • KLF11 is a biochemical paradigm for a subset of proteins that repress transcription via a Mad1-like mSin3A interacting domain (SID) [2].
 

Other interactions of KLF11

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KLF11

  • A combination of random oligonucleotide binding, EMSA, luciferase reporter, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays shows that KLF11 binds to the insulin promoter and regulates its activity in beta cells [4].
  • Molecular cloning and characterization of TIEG2 reveals a new subfamily of transforming growth factor-beta-inducible Sp1-like zinc finger-encoding genes involved in the regulation of cell growth [6].
