PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • ETS (erythroblast transformation specific) DNA-binding domain at the C terminus, activating gene expression during myeloid and B-lymphoid cell development
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to Pu-1
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • SPI-group ETS-protein transcription factors family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , transcription factor

    basic FUNCTION
  • required for the development of both myeloid and lymphoid lineages (role indispensable)
  • can also regulate alternative splicing of target genes
  • repressing GATA1 function during myelopoiesis
  • with PLAGL1, and MED15 cooperate to enhance NCF2 promoter-reporter activity
  • as specific transcription factors SPIB, and SPIC, regulate follicular B cell differentiation
  • is a major transcriptional activator of LIMD1
  • is required to generate lymphoid progenitor cells from hematopoietic stem cells, but it is not required to generate B cells from committed B-cell lineage progenitors
  • SPI1 and SPIB are essential transcriptional regulators of B-cell differentiation as well as novel tumor suppressors in the B-cell lineage
  • ETV5 and SPI1 function in parallel to promote Th9 cell development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding and associating with NCF4 for phox expression and granulocytic differentiation
  • regulating expression of crucial myeloid genes such as CSF1, CSF2, CSF3
  • interazcting with GATA1 (Ets domain of SPI1 and the GATA1 C-terminal zinc finger (CF) form a low affinity interaction in which specific regions of each protein are implicated)
  • interacting with NFATC1 (SPI1 confers specificity to the NFATC1 response to macrophage lineage cells)
  • interacting with TRIM33 (regulation of adult hematopoiesis through TRIM33-mediated transcriptional repression of TAL1 and SPI1 target genes)
  • SPI1 is a critical factor for the expression of CD80 and CD86
  • RUNX1 cooperates with SPI1 to activate myeloid differentiation genes, such as macrophage and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptors (MCSFR and GMCSFR)
  • MT1A is a direct target gene negatively regulated by SPI1
  • SPI1 and GATA1 transactivate FCER1A
  • is a critical regulator of CITED2, as SPI1 repressed CITED2 expression in a DNMT3A/B-dependent manner in normal CD34+ cells
  • TCF3 antagonism of SPI1 activity contributes likely to its ability to commit multipotential hematopoietic progenitors to the lymphoid lineages
  • critical role of SPI1 in the regulation of TLR1, 2, 4 and of CD14
  • mechanistically, METTL14 exerts its oncogenic role by regulating its mRNA targets (e.g., MYB and MYC) through N6-methyladenosine (m6A)modification, while the protein itself is negatively regulated by SPI1

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice deficient in both Spib and Spi1 in the B-cell lineage had reduced frequencies of B cells as well as impaired B-cell differentiation, and developed pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia before 30 weeks of age
