HIC1 - HIC ZBTB transcriptional repressor 1
Function
Transcriptional repressor (PubMed:12052894, PubMed:15231840). Recognizes and binds to the consensus sequence '5-[CG]NG[CG]GGGCA[CA]CC-3' (PubMed:15231840). May act as a tumor suppressor (PubMed:20154726). Involved in development of head, face, limbs and ventral body wall (By similarity). Involved in down-regulation of SIRT1 and thereby is involved in regulation of p53/TP53-dependent apoptotic DNA-damage responses (PubMed:16269335). The specific target gene promoter association seems to be depend on corepressors, such as CTBP1 or CTBP2 and MTA1 (PubMed:12052894, PubMed:20547755). In cooperation with MTA1 (indicative for an association with the NuRD complex) represses transcription from CCND1/cyclin-D1 and CDKN1C/p57Kip2 specifically in quiescent cells (PubMed:20547755). Involved in regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway probably by association with TCF7L2 and preventing TCF7L2 and CTNNB1 association with promoters of TCF-responsive genes (PubMed:16724116). Seems to repress transcription from E2F1 and ATOH1 which involves ARID1A, indicative for the participation of a distinct SWI/SNF-type chromatin-remodeling complex (PubMed:18347096, PubMed:19486893). Probably represses transcription of ACKR3, FGFBP1 and EFNA1 (PubMed:16690027, PubMed:19525223, PubMed:20154726).
