    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting macrophage TNF-alpha production by destabilizing its mRNA
  • involved in regulating the response to growth factors
  • physiological regulator of GM-CSF mRNA deadenylation and stability
  • having a functional role of CCCH zinc finger genes in the regulation of macrophage activation
  • destabilizes a number of inflammatory mediators via its zinc finger-mediated interaction with AREs
  • AU-rich elements (ARE)-binding protein that promotes degradation of ARE-containing transcripts
  • involved in regulation of LATS2 transcript stability (may modulate the effect of this protein on cell proliferation)
  • involved in post-transcriptional regulation of BIRC3 expression
  • modulates macrophage inflammatory activity by destabilizing cytokine mRNAs
  • could control IL17-mediated inflammation
  • CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins that can bind to AU-rich elements in mRNAs and promote their decay
  • ZFAND5 and ZFP36 coordinately regulate many ARE-encoding proinflammatory genes at the level of mRNA decay
  • potential and hitherto unreported role of ZFP36 gene in kidney morphogenesis
  • RNA-binding protein that controls the inflammatory response by limiting the expression of several proinflammatory cytokines
  • ZFP36 plays an important role in RIPK1-dependent cell death in conditions where IAPs are depleted
  • regulates the expression of AU-rich element-containing mRNAs through promoting the degradation and repressing the translation of target mRNA
  • promotes translation repression and degradation of mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs)
  • ZFP36, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2, regulates the production of growth factors and cytokines via destabilization of the respective mRNAs
  • both ZFP36 and ZFP36L1 influence keratinocyte cell cycle, differentiation, and apoptosis in a distinct manner
  • ZFP36, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2, play key roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • downregulates IL6 gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by targeting ARE elements in the 3prime UTR region
  • interaction between ZFP36 and CCL3 mRNA plays an important role in modulating localized inflammatory processes in tissues that are dissociated from the systemic manifestations of chronic inflammation
  • PRR5L associates with ZFP36 to accelerate ZFP36-mediated mRNA turnover and functionally links the control of ZFP36-regulated mRNA stability to MTORC2 activity (
  • general translational repressor DDX6 may cooperate with ZFP36 to regulate AU-rich elements (AREs)-mRNA translation
  • could bind to certain isoforms of another AU-rich element-binding protein, HNRNPD, as well as a related protein, laAUF
  • ZFAND5 competes with ZFP36 for association with AU-rich elements (AREs)-RNA, suppresses ZFP36-induced deadenylation, and interferes with the destabilizing effect of ZFP36 toward ARE-RNA
  • HNRNPF is a co-factor in a subset of ZFP36/BRF1-mediated mRNA decay
  • ZFP36 recruits eukaryotic initiation factor 4E2 (EIF4E2) to repress target mRNA translation
  • ZFP36 promotes the assembly of the death complex called Ripoptosome and induces RIPK1-dependent death
