PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	amino-terminal CAG repeat coding for a polyglutamine stretch
	polyserine signal at the carboxy terminal end
	a putative bipartite nuclear localization signal and predicted N-glycosylation sites
	a DNA-binding domain
	a zinc-finger-like PHD domain at the C-terminus

FAMILY

CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	involved in the control of early neural differentiation
	involved in transcriptional control through a multi-protein complex during the development
	functioning as a transcriptional regulator, and important for embryonic and postnatal developments
	dosage-sensitive transcription factor affecting multiple molecular pathways, thus contributing to the complexity of the phenotypes associated with altered gene dosage
	bind nucleosomes and having low nuclear mobility, suggesting its ability modify chromatin and regulate gene expression
	a positive regulator of CLOCK and an important part of the
	circadian loop of transcription

INTERACTION

DNA	DNA binding

small molecule

protein	with other DNA binding proteins
	directly regulates the expression of BDNF
	regulates the transcription of circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK), a key component of the mammalian circadian oscillator that transcriptionally regulates many critical circadian genes

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Rai1 haploinsufficiency represents a single-gene model of obesity with hyperphagia, abnormal fat distribution and altered hypothalamic gene expression associated with satiety, food intake, behavior and obesity
