Background
Members of the Ikaros (ZNFN1A1; MIM 603023) family of transcription factors, which includes Eos, are expressed in lymphocytes and are implicated in the control of lymphoid development.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002],domain:C-terminal zinc fingers mediate homodimerization.,domain:The N-terminal zinc fingers are involved in sequence-specific DNA binding and heterotypic associations with other family members.,function:DNA-binding protein that binds to the 5'GGGAATRCC-3' Ikaros-binding sequence. Transcriptional repressor. Interacts with SPI1 and MITF to repress transcription of the CTSK and ACP5 promoters via recruitment of corepressors SIN3A and CTBP2. May be involved in the development of central and peripheral nervous systems.,miscellaneous:'Eos' is a Greek word for rising sun.,similarity:Belongs to the Ikaros C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family.,similarity:Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers.,subunit:Self-associates and interacts with other family members; IKZF1, IKZF2, IKZF3 AND IKZF5. Interacts with CTBP2, SPI1 and MITF.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, low levels of expression in heart, thymus, kidney, liver, and spleen. Expressed in the hematopoietic cell lines MOLT-4, NALM-6 and K562. Highly expressed in THP-1 and Mo7e-IL3 cell lines, which have characteristics of myeloid and early megakaryocytic cells respectively.,
