Also known as ubi-d4BAF45dSMARCG2
Summary
DPF2 (double PHD fingers 2, HGNC:9964) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.1, encoding Zinc finger protein ubi-d4 (Q92785). Plays an active role in transcriptional regulation by binding modified histones H3 and H4. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 34.1% of cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the d4 domain family, characterized by a zinc finger-like structural motif. This protein functions as a transcription factor which is necessary for the apoptotic response following deprivation of survival factors. It likely serves a regulatory role in rapid hematopoietic cell growth and turnover. This gene is considered a candidate gene for multiple endocrine neoplasia type I, an inherited cancer syndrome involving multiple parathyroid, enteropancreatic, and pituitary tumors.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 11)
- REQ functions as an efficient adaptor protein between the SWI/SNF complex and RelB/p52 and plays important roles in noncanonical NF-kappaB transcriptional activation and its associated oncogenic activity. (PMID:20460684)
- found that targeting Requiem and Alg-2 did not result in extended culture viability, but resulted in an increase in maximum viable cell numbers and cumulative IVCD under fed-batch conditions (PMID:20571937)
- crystal structure of the C2H2-type zinc finger domain of human DPF2 with a canonical C2H2 fold, which contains two beta strands and one alpha helix, was reported. (PMID:21888896)
- DPF2 decreases monomeric and mono-ubiquitinated OCT4, assembles poly-ubiquitin chains on OCT4 mainly through Ub-K48 linkage (PMID:26417682)
- the role of SMARCA4 and the two SWI/SNF subunits SMARCD2/BAF60B and DPF2/BAF45D in leukaemia, was investigated. (PMID:26571505)
- The demonstrate that the histone acetylation-binding double PHD finger (DPF) domains of human MOZ (also known as KAT6A) and DPF2 (also known as BAF45d) accommodate a wide range of histone lysine acylation with the strongest preference for propionylation (Kcr). (PMID:27775714)
- Upon influenza virus infection, DPF2 dysregulated IFN-beta induction and expression of cytokines/chemokines and antiviral proteins. This study provides evidence that influenza virus utilizes DPF2 to escape host innate immunity. (PMID:28404846)
- Authors show that DPF2 interacts with the acetylated tails of both histones 3 and 4 via bipartite binding pockets on the DPF2 surface. Blocking these interactions through targeted mutagenesis of DPF2 abolishes its recruitment to target chromatin regions as well as its ability to prevent myeloid differentiation in vivo. (PMID:28533407)
- de novo variants in DPF2 cause Coffin-Siris syndrome and propose a dominant-negative mechanism of pathogenicity. (PMID:29429572)
- BAF45D knockdown decreases cell viability, inhibits colony formation, induces cell apoptosis and S-phase arrest in human pancreatic cancer cells. (PMID:32024442)
- DPF2-related Coffin-Siris syndrome type 7 in two generations. (PMID:38697389)

Function. Plays an active role in transcriptional regulation by binding modified histones H3 and H4. Is a negative regulator of myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Might also have a role in the development and maturation of lymphoid cells. Involved in the regulation of non-canonical NF-kappa-B pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with the nucleosomes, in particular nucleosomes bearing histone H3 crotonylated at ‘Lys-14’ (H3K14cr) for which DPF2 has high affinity. Also interacts (via PHD-type zinc finger domains) with histone H3 butyrylated at ‘Lys-14’ (H3K14bu), histone H3 propionylated at ‘Lys-14’ (H3K14pr), and histone H3 acetylated at ‘Lys-14’ (H3K14ac). Interacts with histone H3 acetylated at ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9ac), histone H3 di-methylated at ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me2), and histone H3 tri-methylated at ‘Lys-9’ (H3K9me3). Interacts with histone H4 acetylated at ‘Lys-12’ (H4K12ac). Interacts with histone H4 acetylated at ‘Lys-16’ (H4K16ac). Interacts with SWI/SNF complex components. Interacts with SMARCA2, SMARCA4, SMARCB1 and SMARCD1. Interacts with SMARCC1, SMARCC2 and ACTL6A. Interacts with RUNX1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Disease relevance. Coffin-Siris syndrome 7 (CSS7) [MIM:618027] A form of Coffin-Siris syndrome, a congenital multiple malformation syndrome with broad phenotypic and genetic variability. Cardinal features are intellectual disability, coarse facial features, hypertrichosis, and hypoplastic or absent fifth digit nails or phalanges. Additional features include malformations of the cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and/or central nervous systems. Sucking/feeding difficulties, poor growth, ophthalmologic abnormalities, hearing impairment, and spinal anomalies are common findings. Both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns have been reported. CSS7 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the requiem/DPF family.
