    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in transcriptional regulation
  • activates the transcription of BCL2
  • represses the expression of many genes in response to DNA damage in an Akt- and YWHAH-regulated manner
  • required for the recruitment of a fraction of TOPBP1 to chromatin, for the protection of TOPBP1 from proteasomal degradation and for ATR-dependent signal transduction
  • implicated in the control of keratinocyte proliferation and in the cellular response to TGFbeta
  • involved in controlling proliferation and differentiation in hair follicles and in hair fiber morphogenesis
  • selectively suppresses TNFA-induced JNK1 activation and cell death independently of its transcription activity
  • acts as a signal- and pathway-specific modulator or regulator that specifically regulates TNFA-induced JNK1 activation and cell death
  • is a direct activator of WIF1 transcriptional activity, which is found at WIF1 promoter
  • BTB/POZ domain containing transcription factor that can function as an activator or repressor depending on its binding partners
  • new functions for ZBTB17 in the heart, a transcription factor that may play a role as a novel cardiomyopathy gene
  • ZBTB17 is a newly identified ING4-induced target gene which can drive prostate luminal epithelial cell differentiation
  • ZBTB17 is an essential transcriptional activator of AMELX, which is critical in odontogenesis and matrix mineralization in the developing tooth
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    c-MYC/ZBTB17/BCL2 pathway (repression of ZBTB17-driven BCL2 transcription defines a previously unknown genetic pathway linking c-MYC to apoptosis)
    a component
  • heterodimerizes with BCL6 to suppress expression of CDKN1A during the class switching of immunoglobulin genes in B cells
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • interacting with BCL2 (inhibition of the ZBTB17/BCL2 signal is an essential event during the apoptotic response)
  • inetraction with MYC (affect the activity of the ATR checkpoint through their effect on TOPBP1 chromatin)association and stability
  • MYC, ZBTB17 and MAX are associated with the CEBPD promoter in proliferating cells, when CEBPD expression is repressed
  • binding of Myc to ZBTB17 is required to antagonize growth suppression and induction of senescence by TGFbeta
  • ZBTB17 can bind to the SOCS1 promoter, suggesting that ZBTB17 deficiency causes a deregulation of SOCS1
  • interaction between ZBTB17 and MYC becomes important and critical for the initiation and maintenance of MYC-dependent lymphoid malignancies
  • ZBTB17 activates the transcription of a number of target genes including the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN2B
  • EBNA3A likely directly counteracts the growth inhibitory action of ZBTB17
  • ZBTB17 binds to an MRE (MIZ-1 binding element) of the AMELX proximal promoter region (bp, -170 to -25)
