PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • a long serine/threonine and glutamine rich region (transactivation domain) at the N terminus
  • a buttonhead (BTD) box CXCPXC, just N-terminal to the zinc fingers
  • a DNA binding domain of three zinc fingers of the C2H2 type near the C terminus
  • a negative regulatory domain present in the C-terminus modulating its protein levels and activation of the CDKN1A promoter
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Sp3 (95,37 pc)
    homolog to murine Sp3 (97,42 pc)

    basic FUNCTION
  • repressor of SP1-mediated transcriptional activation
  • SP1 and SP3 may function as the main regulator of the basal and serum-induced transcription of CENPW
  • function as a bifunctional transcription factor that either stimulates or represses the transcription of numerous genes
  • plays likely a major role in the inhibitory effect of glutamine on apoptosis
  • SP3 plays potentially a key role in the expression of NOX4 in various cell lineages in humans
  • regulation of trefoil factor 2 expression by the transcription factor SP3
  • more or less transactivator activity, depending on the sumoylation
  • novel role for SP3 in sarcomas as a driver for expression of the metastasis-related gene AFAP1L1
  • promote the binding of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to the CDKN1A promoter, leading to reduced H3S10 phosphorylation, a finding consistent with SP3-dependent regulation of the local balance between kinase and phosphatase activities

    protein
  • associating with the endogenously repressed TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) recruiting histone deacetylase(s) for the localized deacetylation of nucleosomal histones ans silencing of TERT in normal somatic cells
  • repressing the SP1 mediated transactivation of COL2A1 in chondrocytes
  • CENPW induced by serum stimulation followed by serum deprivation, with SP1 and SP3 transcription factors involved in this transactivation
  • proximal FOXP3 promoter transactivation was inhibited by FOXP3 and the SP transcription factor family member SP3
  • functional synergy of SP1, SP3, SP4 with the photoreceptor-enriched CRX transcriptional regulator on the rod opsin promoter but not the beta-PDE promoter, although SP4-mediated activation was the most significant
  • transcription factor SP1 and SP3 up-regulate the basal transcriptional activity of CD2AP and increase CD2AP expression at mRNA level
  • basal expression level of IRF3 is regulated by transcription factors SP1 and SP3
  • major regulator of TFF2 expression
  • inhibition of FGF10 by inflammatory signaling involves the NFKB1-dependent interactions between RELA, SP3, and the FGF10 promoter
  • SP1 and SP3 are functionally involved as transcriptional integrators regulating the basal expression of the derived EPHX1 E1b variant transcript
  • SP1/SP3 transcription factors trigger MINA expression through additive activity targeted to a cluster of four SP1/SP3 binding sites forming the P1 promoter
