CATEGORY

regulatory , DNA associated , transcription factor , protooncogene

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities in the antero-posterior axis
	activating CYBB transcription in differentiated myeloid cells
	maintains endothelial cells in a quiescent state by negatively regulating NFKB1 activity
	important for normal hematopoiesis, modulating MEIS1 through CREB1 targeting
	overexpression of HOXA9 induces IGF1R expression and subsequently promotes leukemic cell growth
	acting as an obligate proinflammatory factor by mediating cytokine induction of E-selectin
	major differentiation factors of the NK-cell lineage, including HOXA9, HOXA10 and ID2, were (de)regulated via polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) which therefore contributes to T-cell leukemogenesis
	an important regulatory role in cytokine induction of the EC-leukocyte adhesion molecules E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1
	stimulus-dependent methylation of HOXA9 is essential for ELAM expression during the EC inflammatory response
	HOXA9 and FLT3 signaling are individually important for the generation of lymphoid lineage precursors from multipotent hematopoietic progenitors (MPP) in bone marrow

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription, regulation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

development

text	a key regulator of hematopoiesis and embryonic development

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

HOXA9/MADH4 in response to TGFB stimulation to repress osteopontin gene transcription

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	PBX2 and MEIS1
	Smad4
	CBP
	PIM1
	protein arginine methyltransferase 5, PRMT5
	HOXA9, HOXA10 are direct transcriptional targets of SETBP1
	DACH1 has a stronger transcription-promoting activity with HOXA9 than does PBX2 with HOXA9
	CDX4 activates transcription of the HOXA9 and HOXA10 genes, and HOXA10 activates CDX4 transcription
	SYNCRIP and MSI2 interact indirectly though shared mRNA targets (SYNCRIP maintains HOXA9 translation, and MSI2 or HOXA9 overexpression rescued the effects of SYNCRIP depletion)

cell & other

REGULATION

inhibited by

phosphorylation by PKC, impairing its DNA binding ability and inducing myeloid differentiation

Other	negatively regulated by miR-126 binding to the homeobox
	methylation by PRMT5 is essential for endothelial cell expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules
	stability of HOXA9 controled by CUL-4A ubiquitylation machinery
