PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • two distinct domains, a newly defined regulatory domain that interacts with filamin A
  • the previously identified RUNX1-binding domain
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Cbfb
    Homologene
    FAMILY CBF beta family
    CATEGORY transcription factor

    text Filamin A retains CBFB in the cytoplasm, thereby hindering its engagement as a RUNX1 partner
    basic FUNCTION
  • master regulator for a host of genes specific to hematopoiesis (RUNX1) or osteogenesis (RUNX2)
  • required for hematopoietic stem cells emergence, bone formation and normal differentiation of lymphoid and myeloid lineage cells
  • involved in the regulation of the G1-checkpoint at the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1A
  • CBFB and RUNX1 are critical for the establishment of definitive hematopoiesis and are implicated in leukemic transformation
  • Runx proteins and CBFB restrict granulocyte lineage commitment to facilitate multilineage hematopoietic differentiation and thus identify their novel tumor suppressor function in myeloid leukemia
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    cell organization/biogenesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text hematopoiesis, osteogenesis
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • protein forming heterodimers with AML1 proteins (AML1, AML1B, AML2, AML3) and increasing their affinity for DNA (core) recognition sequence
  • dimerizing with either of the CBF alpha subunits
  • heterodimerizing with RUNX2 for osteoblasts and chondrocytes differentiation (heterodimeric transcription factor PEBP2/CBF is composed of a DNA-binding subunit, RUNX1, and a non-DNA-binding subunit, CBFB)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to the core site of various enhancers and promoters,including T cell receptor gene enhancers,TRIM10, etc...
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with FLNA
  • binding to ELOB/ELOC induces conformational changes in HIV1 Vif, facilitating its interaction with CBFB and consequent interaction with CUL5
  • RUNX2/CBFB regulates the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes and osteoblast-lineage cells by activating multiple signaling pathways and via their reciprocal regulation
