| description | Hypermethylated in cancer 1 (HIC1) is a transcriptional repressor that modulates P53-dependent and E2F1-dependent cell growth control and is epigenetically inactivated in various human cancers []. It recognises and binds to the consensus sequence '5-[CG]NG[CG]GGGCA[CA]CC-3' []. It is a direct transcriptional repressor of ephrin-A1 and CXCR7, which are implicated in the pathogenesis of different cancers [, ]. HIC1 is also involved in down-regulation of SIRT1 and thereby is involved in regulation of p53/TP53-dependent apoptotic DNA-damage responses []. HIC1 interacts with several different corepressors such as CTBP1, CTBP2 and MTA1 (a subunit of the NuRD complex) []. |
