    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating estrogen action in various target organs
  • having radiosensitivity suppressor functions
  • increases cell proliferation via inhibition of TP53 nuclear activities
  • functions as an oncogene that promotes tumor growth
  • TRIM29 functions likely as a scaffold protein to assemble DNA repair proteins into chromatin followed by efficient activation of DNA damage response (DDR)
  • regulates negatively the host innate immune response to RNA virus, which could be employed by RNA viruses for viral pathogenesis
  • promotes DNA virus infections by inhibiting innate immune response
  • is a negative regulator of NK cell functions and may have important clinical implications
  • involved in the formation of homodimers and heterodimers in relation to DNA binding, having a role in carcinogenesis, DNA damage signaling, and the suppression of radiosensitivity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • protein kinase C, intermediate filament, vimentin which is a protein kinase C substrate
  • binds TP53, and this interaction is potentially fine-tuned by posttranslational acetylation of lysine 116 on TRIM29
  • binds to KAT5, which has been reported as a cellular acetyltransferase protein
  • interacting with HDAC9 (deacetylates TRIM29, alters the ability of TRIM29 to associate with TP53, and consequently inhibits the cell proliferation-promoting activity of TRIM29)
  • TRIM29 regulates the TP63-mediated pathway and the behavior of cervical cancer cells
  • TRIM29 is required for efficient recruitment of TP53BP1 to facilitate the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway and thereby suppress the HR pathway in response to DNA DSBs.
  • KLF4 is an important transcription factor on regulating TRIM29 expression and modulates the keratin network
  • SETBP1 is a crucial target of TRIM29, and TRIM29 facilitated SETBP1 transcriptional activation via the VEZF1 transcription factor
  • TRIM29 interacts with keratins and FAM83H to regulate keratin distribution
  • cell & other
