Primary Identifier | IPR045787 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | MIER1/3_C |
description | This domain is found at the C terminus of Mesoderm induction early response proteins 1 and 3 (MIER1/3). MIER1 is a transcriptional repressor that regulates the expression of a number of genes including SP1 target genes, recruiting histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) through its ELM2 domain. It has two isoforms, alpha and beta, which differ in their C-terminal domains, both of them being able to interact with HDAC1. The gene encoding MIER3 has been identified as a candidate cancer susceptibility gene []. MIER1 and 3 share two regions of high homology, one at the N terminus and the second at the C terminus, represented in this entry, which consists of a short region located immediately downstream of the SANT extension that is 84% identical [, ]. |
