FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N terminal SCAN box (leucine rich), mediating interactions between members of a subfamily of zinc-finger transcription factors, and necessary for association with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (Noll 2008)
	13 zinc finger (C2H2) motifs
	a glycine-proline-rich region between the fourth and fifth zinc finger motif

secondary structure

each monomer consists of five alpha helices in two subdomains connected by the alpha2-alpha3 loop

conjugated

MetalloP

mono polymer

dimer

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	zinc finger protein family, C2H2 type, Kruppel-like
	SCAN domain family transcription factors, KRAB subfamily

CATEGORY

transcription factor , protooncogene

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome

basic FUNCTION	negative regulator of myelopoiesis development of neutrophilic granulocytes
	transcription factor that plays an important role in blood cell development (Noll 2008)
	with Sp1/Sp3 binding to the promoter region, drive the PADI1 expression (Dong 2008)
	its activation in striatal astrocytes can enhance the biosynthesis and release of FGF2 through apomorphine (Luo 2009)
	induces invasion and metastasis in colorectal and cervical cancer, at least in part by regulating AXL gene (Mudduluru 2010)
	suppresses prostate tumor growth through enforcing ferroportin-conducted iron egress
	is likely an endogenous trigger of neuropathic pain and might serve as a potential target for preventing and treating this disorder
	MZF1 regulates the CTGF and NOV genes in the hematopoietic compartment, and may be involved in their respective functions in the stroma
	role of MZF1 in myeloid differentiation and leukemia, and is involved in the etiology of major solid tumors

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, proliferation/growth
	nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	form dimer via its highly conserved SCAN motif (Noll 2008)
	constituent of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs)(Noll 2008)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	inhibiting granulocyte CSF(1) in vitro
	SCAND1
	interact with LDOC1 and enhance the activity of LDOC1 for inducing apoptosis
	interacting with FHL3
	ZNF24 is a novel heterodimeric partner of MZF1 that also associates with PML-NBs in a unique ring-type pattern (Noll 2008)
	binds to the AXL promoter, transactivates promoter activity, and enhances AXL-mRNA and protein expression in a dose-dependent manner (Mudduluru 2010)
	promoter of SERPINA3 is transcriptionally activated by three transcription factors (TFs) (SP1, MZF1 and ZBTB7B)
	MZF1 regulates GAPDH, indicating a role for GAPDH in calcitriol-mediated signaling
	MZF1 is a transcription factor that regulates SLC40A1 expression
	interaction of MZF1 with the CTGF and NOV promoters in several cell types
