    PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two CDK phosphorylation sites, serines 368 and 423, which play a role in defining FOXK2 function through regulating its stability and its activity as a transcriptional repressor protein
  • a forkhead (FH) DNA binding domain homolog
  • winged helix (with two loops-wings on the C-terminal side of helix-turn-helix homeo domain)
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans Y24d9a.1

    basic FUNCTION
  • is a G/T-mismatch DNA-binding protein and a deaminated DNA-binding protein
  • exhibits a periodic rise in its phosphorylation levels during the cell cycle, with hyperphosphorylation occurring in mitotic cells
  • participates in combinatorial transcriptional control with the AP-1 transcription factor
  • required for the efficient recruitment of AP-1 to chromatin
  • FOXK1 and/or FOXK2 are likely to act as important regulators that reprogram cellular metabolism to induce aerobic glycolysis
  • FOXK1, FOXK2 play a critical role in the control of apoptosis, metabolism and mitochondrial function
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    INTERACTION
    DNA
  • binding to interleukin enhancer
  • binding to purine-rich regulatory motif in HIV-1LTR and IL2 promoter
  • bound to G/T-mismatch DNA with higher affinity than 'match' FOXK2 consensus
  • RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • bound constitutively to the IL2 promoter
  • is subject to control by cell cycle-regulated protein kinases
  • acts to promote AP-1-dependent gene expression changes in response to activation of the AP-1 pathway
  • cell & other
