背景资料
TCF-4, transcription factor 4, is a basic helix-turn-helix transcription factor. This protein recognizes an Ephrussi-box ('E-box') binding site ('CANNTG') - a motif first identified in immunoglobulin enhancers. The gene for TCF-4 is expressed predominantly in pre-B-cells, although it is found in other tissues as well. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described. TCF4, also known as TCF7L2, is expressed widely during development. Gene targeting study indicates that it is required to maintain the crypt stem cells of the small intestine. TCF4 has many different splicing isoforms and they are expressed differentially in tissues and in cancers of different stages. Studies also indicate that variant of the TCF4 gene confers an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
蛋白名
Transcription factor 7-like 2
亚基
Interacts with TGFB1I1 (By similarity). Interacts with CTNNB1 (via the armadillo repeat); forms stable transcription complex. Interacts with EP300. Interacts with NLK. Interacts with CCDC85B (probably through the HMG box); prevents interaction with CTNNB1. Interacts with TNIK. Interacts with MAD2L2; prevents TCF7L2/TCF4 binding to promZIPK/DAPK3oters, negatively modulating its transcriptional activity. Interacts with ZIPK/DAPK3. Interacts with XIAP/BIRC4 and TLE3. Interacts with DDIT3/CHOP.
亚细胞定位
Nucleus, PML body. Note=Diffuse pattern. Colocalizes with SUMO1 and PIAS4 in a subset of PML (promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies.
组织特异性
Detected in epithelium from small intestine, with the highest expression at the top of the crypts and a gradient of expression from crypt to villus. Detected in colon epithelium and colon cancer, and in epithelium from mammary gland and carcinomas derived therefrom.
翻译后修饰
In vitro, phosphorylated by TNIK.
Phosphorylated at Thr-201 and/or Thr-212 by NLK. Phosphorylation by NLK at these sites inhibits DNA-binding by TCF7L2/TCF4, thereby preventing transcriptional activation of target genes of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.
Polysumoylated. Sumoylation is enhanced by PIAS family members and desumoylation is enhanced by SENP2. Sumoylation/desumoylation regulates TCF7L2/TCF4 transcription activity in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway without altering interaction with CTNNB1 nor binding to DNA.
疾病
Note=Constitutive activation and subsequent transactivation of target genes may lead to the maintenance of stem-cell characteristics (cycling and longevity) in cells that should normally undergo terminal differentiation and constitute the primary transforming event in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Diabetes mellitus, non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM) [MIM:125853]: A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis caused by a lack of sensitivity to the body's own insulin. Affected individuals usually have an obese body habitus and manifestations of a metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The disease results in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
相似性
Belongs to the TCF/LEF family.
Contains 1 HMG box DNA-binding domain.
功能
Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. Acts as repressor in the absence of CTNNB1, and as activator in its presence. Activates transcription from promoters with several copies of the Tcf motif 5'-CCTTTGATC-3' in the presence of CTNNB1. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by TCF7L2/TCF4 and CTNNB1. Expression of dominant-negative mutants results in cell-cycle arrest in G1. Necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial stem-cell compartment of the small intestine.
