hypermethylated in cancer 1 protein; Hic-1; zinc finger & BTB domain-containing protein 29 (HIC1, ZBTB29)
Function:
- transcriptional repressor
- recognizes & binds to the consensus sequence '5-[CG]NG[CG]GGGCA[CA]CC-3'
- tumor suppressor
- development of head, face, limbs, ventral body wall
- interacts with CtBP
- role in down-regulation of SIRT1 thus role in regulation of p53/TP53-dependent apoptotic DNA-damage responses
- specific target gene promoter association seems to be depend on corepressors, such as CTBP1 or CTBP2 & MTA1
- regulation of SIRT1 transcription in response to nutrient deprivation seems to involve CTBP1
- in cooperation with MTA1 represses transcription from CCND1/cyclin-D1 & CDKN1C/p57Kip2 in quiescent cells
- role in regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway probably by association with TCF7L2 & preventing TCF7L2 & CTNNB1 association with promoters of TCF-responsive genes
- seems to repress transcription from E2F1 & ATOH1 which involves ARID1A
- probably represses transcription from ACKR3, FGFBP1 & EFNA1
- acetylated on several residues, including Lys-333
- Lys-333 is deacetylated by SIRT1
- sumoylated on Lys-333 by a PIAS family member, which enhances interaction with MTA1, positively regulates transcriptional repression activity & is enhanced by HDAC4
- interacts with HIC2
- interacts with CTBP1 & CTBP2
- interacts with TCF7L2 & ARID1A
- interacts with MTA1 & MBD3; indicative for an association with the NuRD complex
Structure:
- self-associates
- the BTB domain inhibits the binding to a single consensus binding site, but mediates cooperative binding to multiple binding sites
- belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type Zn+2-finger protein family, Hic subfamily
- contains 1 BTB/POZ domain
- contains 5 C2H2-type Zn+2 fingers
Compartment: nucleus
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
Expression:
- ubiquitously expressed, highest levels in lung, colon, prostate, thymus, testis, ovary
Pathology:
- expression is absent or decreased in many tumor cells
- epigenetically silenced or deleted
- defects in HIC1 associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome
