GFI1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description Template:Cs1 config An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Zinc finger protein Gfi-1 is a transcriptional repressor that in humans is encoded by the GFI1 gene.[1] It is important normal hematopoiesis.[2]

Function

Gfi1 (growth factor independence 1) is a transcriptional repressor that plays a critical role in hematopoiesis and in protecting hematopoietic cells against stress-induced apoptosis. Gfi1 upregulates the expression of the nuclear protein Hemgn, which contributes to its anti-apoptotic activity. This upregulation is mediated through a specific 16-bp promoter region and is dependent on Gfi1’s interaction with the histone demethylase LSD1.[3] Gfi1 represses PU.1 transcription factor, and this repression precedes and correlates with the upregulation of Hemgn. The upregulation of Hemgn, in turn, contributes to the anti-apoptotic function of Gfi1, acting in a p53-independent manner.[3][4]

Gfi1 promotes cell survival by upregulating Hemgn through the repression of PU.1 thereby inhibiting apoptosis.[3] Gfi1 inhibits apoptosis induced by DNA damage, growth factor withdrawal, inhibitory cytokine TGF-β and MYC activation [4]

Gfi1 is also expressed in the inner ear, and in the epithelium lining the stomach, intestines, and lung airways, where it is important for cellular differentiation.[5][6]

Interactions

GFI1 has been shown to interact with PIAS3[7] and RUNX1T1.[8]
