ELF4 - E74 like ETS transcription factor 4
Function
Transcriptional activator that binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus 5'-WGGA-3'. Transactivates promoters of the hematopoietic growth factor genes CSF2, IL3, IL8, and of the bovine lysozyme gene. Acts synergistically with RUNX1 to transactivate the IL3 promoter (By similarity). Transactivates the PRF1 promoter in natural killer (NK) cells and CD8+ T cells (PubMed:34326534). Plays a role in the development and function of NK and NK T-cells and in innate immunity. Controls the proliferation and homing of CD8+ T-cells via the Kruppel-like factors KLF4 and KLF2 (By similarity). Controls cell senescence in a p53-dependent manner. Can also promote cellular transformation through inhibition of the p16 pathway. Is a transcriptional regulator of inflammation, controlling T-helper 17 (Th17) cells and macrophage inflammatory responses. Required for sustained transcription of anti-inflammatory genes, including IL1RN (PubMed:34326534, PubMed:35266071). Is a negative regulator of pro-inflammatory cytokines expression including IL17A, IL1B, IL6, TNFA and CXCL1 (PubMed:34326534, PubMed:35266071). Down-regulates expression of TREM1, a cell surface receptor involved in the amplification of inflammatory responses (By similarity) (PubMed:34326534, PubMed:35266071).
