    basic FUNCTION
  • cofactor for GATA1
  • modulator of DNA-binding activity of GATA
  • essential for the proper transcriptional activation and repression of numerous GATA-1 target genes
  • continuous presence of GATA1, ZFPM1, and NuRD is required to maintain lineage fidelity throughout megakaryocyte-erythroid ontogeny
  • recruits two multi-protein complexes, the nucleosome remodeling domain (NuRD) complex and a C-terminal binding protein (CTBP)-containing complex, into association with GATA1 to mediate activation and repression of target genes
  • with components of the CTBP-complex, KDM1A, co-occupy chromatin sites in genes known to be regulated by GATA1
  • ZFPM1, ZFPM2, and CTBP1 and CTBP2 are partners of GATA2, GATA3 proteins in the control of adipocyte proliferation and differentiation
  • is required for the formation of all committed Mk- and E-lineage progenitors, whereas GATA1 was observed to be specifically required for E-lineage commitment
  • CEBPB, CEBPA and ZFPM1 exhibited transcriptional cross-regulation in early myelo-erythroid progenitors making their functional antagonism a potential mechanism for separation of the myeloid and Mk/E lineages
  • its expression is directly or indirectly dependent on the B cell-specific coactivator POU2AF1 and it is modulated during B cell development: expression is observed in early but not in late stages of B cell development

  • RBBP4·ZFPM1 structure provides insight into the molecular determinants of ZFPM1-dependent association with the NuRD complex and into the links between transcription regulation and nucleosome remodeling
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • essential cofactor of GATA2, interacting through the N finger(s) of GATA
  • under the influence of GATA1, TRIM35 relocates from cytoplasmic granules to the nucleus where it associates with both ZFPM1 and GATA1
  • ZFPM1/NuRD interaction is dispensable for the silencing of human HBG1 and HBG2 expression
  • interacts with transcription factors GATA1 and GATA2 to control erythroid and megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation
  • GATA1-interaction partner, critical for GATA1 function in several contexts by bringing multiple complexes into association with GATA1 to facilitate activation or repression of target genes
  • interact with two repression complexes: a CTBP-containing complex and the NURD repression complex
  • interaction between GATA1 and ZFPM1 is critical for the development of both erythroid and megakaryocytic cell lineages
  • GATA1 and its cofactor ZFPM1 are required for the differentiation of erythrocytes and megakaryocytes
  • exogenous expression of ZFPM1 in mast cells leads to displacement of GATA1 from mast cell-specific genes and causes their downregulation

    REGULATION
    Other regulated by NURD (NuRD is required for ZFPM1-dependent activation of adult-type globin gene expression but is dispensable for human gamma-globin silencing)
    SUMOylated and phosphorylated in erythroid cells in a differentiation-dependent manner (SUMOylation of ZFPM1 modulates interactions with C-terminal binding protein family members, specifically promoting CTBP1 binding)
