    basic FUNCTION
  • molecular transcriptional repressor
  • playing important roles in the normal phenotypic expression of mast cells in association with MITF
  • transactivates the cMyc promoter (Yang 2010)
  • is part of the transcription factor network that regulates the CD8 lineage differentiation of double-positive thymocytes
  • may have an important role as a transcriptional repressor in chromatin remodeling and transcription regulation
  • PATZ1 may have an important role in the regulation of EC senescence through an ROS-mediated TP53-dependent pathway and contribute to vascular diseases associated with aging
  • POZ/AT-hook/Kruppel zinc finger (PATZ) transcription factor
  • is able to bind the BCL6 regulatory region, where BCL6 itself acts as a negative regulator, and to contribute to negatively modulate its activity
  • PATZ1 acts as a tumor suppressor in lymphomagenesis by inhibiting BCL6 expression
  • haploinsufficient tumor suppressor role for PATZ1 that would act in lymphomagenesis by down-regulating BCL6 expression
  • PATZ1 is important for Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) pluripotency
  • dosage of PATZ1 modulates reprogramming process via significantly influencing cell senescence, proliferation and chromatin structure
  • regulates several genes involved in cellular adhesion and morphogenesis
  • important transcriptional regulatory factor that regulates divergent pathways depending on the cellular context
  • endothelial PATZ1 potently inhibits endothelial function and angiogenesis via inhibition of FABP4 expression, and abnormal induction of endothelial PATZ1 may contribute to multiple aspects of vascular dysfunction in diabetes
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • PATZ1 and BCL6 form a complex in mammalian cells, and the POZ domain of PATZ1 is necessary for such interaction
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • long C form binding actin RNF4, mediator of androgen receptor activity
  • partner of MITF (the zinc-finger domain of MAZR and the Zip domain of MITF were essential for the interaction)
  • interacting with PRKAR1A, resulting in sequestration in cytoplasm with a cAMP inducible nuclear translocation (Yang 2010)
  • PATZ1 interacts with BCL6 and negatively modulates its expression
  • PATZ1, previously known for its transcriptional suppressor functions in T lymphocytes, is a crucial regulator of TP53
  • acted as a potent transcriptional corepressor of fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), an essential convergence point for angiogenic and metabolic signaling pathways in endothelial cells (ECs)
