PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	putative transactivation domain rich in proline and alanine at the N terminus (3PXXP motifs) associating with SH3 domain of tyrosine kinases
	a highly conserved 81 AA DNA binding domain
	a repression domain
	a nuclear localization signal (NLS)

HOMOLOGY

FAMILY

Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family

CATEGORY

regulatory , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,chromatin/chromosome

basic FUNCTION	activation of globin genes, predominantly gamma and a wide range of genes in cells of erythroid lineage
	important component of the transcription network required for heart development
	is involved in the normal control of erythropoiesis
	involved in the development of B and T cells at multiple stages
	involved at multiple different checkpoints in development that require signalling through the TCR, pre-BCR or mature BCR
	key role for KLF13 in the expression of IL-4 in CD4(+) T cells

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	repressing CYP1A1 gene promoter via the BTE site
	KLF13 binds proximal LDLR DNA sequences and exogenous oxysterol up-regulates such binding
	binding the CTCB box and activating RANTES (CCL5)
	interaction with GATA4, a dosage-sensitive cardiac regulator (may be GATA4 modifier)
	controls the late (3-5 days after activation) expression of CCL5 in T lymphocytes and that KLF13 itself is translationally regulated through the 5prime -untranslated region of its mRNA
	key role for KLF13 in the expression of IL4 in CD4(+) T cells
	KLF13 cooperates with MAF to regulate IL4 expression in CD4+ T cells

REGULATION

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	viable Klf13(-/-) mice had reduced numbers of circulating erythrocytes and a larger spleen
	in murine T lymphocytes, Klf13 protein is abundant because of the absence of Fbxw7
