    PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • N-terminus containing the sequence FALNSLL that is similar to the Eh1 (Engrailed like homeodomain1 sequence) motif designated by the consensus sequence FXIXXIL
  • three Drosophila cut DNA binding domains (CUX class) with PKPW motifs
  • four potential DNA binding domains: three 60 amino acid repeats, termed cut repeats, and the homeodomain
  • a consensus binding motif, ATCRAT
  • a conserved GZMB cleavage site that could modify its intracellular localization and interaction with sorting nexin 27
  • secondary structure helix-turn-helix

    basic FUNCTION
  • binding selectively to nuclear matrix/scaffold associated regions of DNA,i.e. MARbeta, upstream of the T cell receptor beta gene
  • able, like CUX2, to perform the CCAAT-displacement activity
  • proteolytic processing of CUX1 generates p110 isoform that accelerates entry into S phase, inducing replication genes during cell cycle progression
  • transcription factor implicated primarily in the control of cell-autonomous functions, such as cell cycle progression and mobility
  • important mediator of cell migration and tumor invasion downstream of transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta)
  • stimulate cell proliferation by accelerating entry into S phase and cooperate with E2F1 in the regulation of many cell cycle genes
  • with CUX2, have redundant roles in specifying Reelin expressing cortical interneurons
  • with E2F1 regulate coordinated expression of the mitotic complex genes ECT2, RACGAP1, and MKLP1 in S phase
  • plays a role in at least two distinct processes with relevance to cancer: cell cycle progression and cell motility
  • important modulator of invasion and resistance to apoptosis
  • causes chromosomal instability by activating a transcriptional program that prevents multipolar divisions and enables the survival of tetraploid cells that evolve to become genetically unstable and tumorigenic
  • contributes to the establishment of a transcriptional program that enables tetraploid cells to undergo bipolar mitosis in the presence of multiple centrosomes
  • acts as a negative regulator of TGFB and potent inhibitor of type I collagen transcription
  • CUX1 and NFIB contribute to autism spectrum disorder susceptibility
  • as a conserved, haploinsufficient tumor suppressor frequently deleted in myeloid neoplasms
  • not only was able to regulate the next adjacent gene, but also regulated the gene located beyond this one as well as the gene located further away in the opposite direction
  • is an adaptor molecule uniquely expressed in lymphocytes that forms complexes with both vesicle-initiating and sorting proteins, and has roles in NK cell migration, cytotoxicity, and cytokine secretion
  • CUX1 is required for intestinal epithelial wound healing and targets the VAV2-RAC1 signalling complex
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component part of a complex bound to the CDKN1B promoter in the native chromatin configuration in the developing kidney
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • CUX1 and E2F1 regulate coordinated expression of the mitotic complex genes ECT2, RACGAP1, and KIF23 in S phase
  • directly interacts with the co-repressor TLE4 (Groucho 4), a known effector of Notch signaling (interacting partner for CUX1, involved in repression of CDKN1B during kidney development)
  • GRIA3 could be confirmed as a downstream effector of CUX1 and was expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues
  • ZBTB16 is a transcriptional target for the CUX1 repressor (the novel genetic relationship between CUX1 and PLZF could be of relevance to human diseases, such as leukemia)
  • FTO and RPGRIP1L are regulated by isoforms P200 and P110 of the transcription factor, CUX1
  • may bind to a single enhancer that regulates the expression of both FTO and RPGRIP1L
  • downregulates several NFKB-regulated chemokines such as CXCL10
  • interacts with NFKB RELA, leading to reduced binding of NFKB RELA to the chemokine promoters
  • guanine nucleotide exchange factor VAV2 gene is a direct target for CUX1
