    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome
    basic FUNCTION
  • implicated in the control of lymphoid development
  • acting as a transcriptional repressor
  • critical mediator of FOXP3-dependent gene silencing in CD4+ regulatory T cells, via its interaction with FOXP3 and induction of chromatin modifications that result in gene silencing (Pan 2009)
  • may be involved in the development of central and preipheral nervous systems
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • integral component of chromatin-remodeling complexes
  • homo or heterodimerizing with either other member of the family IKZF1, IKZF2, IKZF3 and IKZF5
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to typical 5'-GGGAATRCC-3' Ikaros-binding sequences
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • interacting with SPI1; MITF to repress transcription of the CTSK and ACP5 promoters via recruitment of corepressors SIN3A and CTBP2
  • interacting with CTBP2
  • interacting with FOXP3 (Pan 2009)
  • cell & other
