    FAMILY
  • ING family
  • CATEGORY transcription factor , tumor suppressor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a transcription factor by promoter activation
  • regulate cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and DNA repair as important cofactors of TP53
  • promotes UV-induced apoptosis via the Fas/caspase-8-dependent pathway in melanoma cells
  • would function as a potential tumor suppressor molecule and that low levels of ING3 may indicate an aggressive nature of head and neck cancer
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle
    cell life, cell death/apoptosis
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • stable components of the SIN3A /HDAC and KAT5/NuA4 HAT complexes
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding

    small molecule metal binding,
  • zn2+
  • protein
  • RPS6KA1 regulates anchorage-independent growth through transcriptional regulation of factors that modulate cell survival, including ING3, CKAP2, and PTK6

    REGULATION
    Other degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway through the KITLG(SKP2) complex and interruption of ING3 degradation enhances the tumor-suppressive function of ING3, which provides a potential cancer therapeutic approach by interfering ING3 degradation
