PIR
geneOn this page
Summary
PIR (pirin, HGNC:30048) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.2, encoding Pirin (O00625). Transcriptional coregulator of NF-kappa-B which facilitates binding of NF-kappa-B proteins to target kappa-B genes in a redox-state-dependent manner.
This gene encodes a member of the cupin superfamily. The encoded protein is an Fe(II)-containing nuclear protein expressed in all tissues of the body and concentrated within dot-like subnuclear structures. Interactions with nuclear factor I/CCAAT box transcription factor as well as B cell lymphoma 3-encoded oncoprotein suggest the encoded protein may act as a transcriptional cofactor and be involved in the regulation of DNA transcription and replication. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Alternative names: Probable quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase PIR
All UniProt accessions (1): O00625
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Transcriptional coregulator of NF-kappa-B which facilitates binding of NF-kappa-B proteins to target kappa-B genes in a redox-state-dependent manner. May be required for efficient terminal myeloid maturation of hematopoietic cells. Has quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase activity (in vitro).
Subunit / interactions. May interact with NF1/CTF1. Interacts with BCL3. Identified in a complex comprised of PIR, BLC3, NFKB1 and target DNA.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in a subset of melanomas. Detected at very low levels in most tissues (at protein level). Expressed in all tissues, with highest level of expression in heart and liver.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by kojic acid, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrochloride.
Cofactor. Binds 1 Fe cation per subunit.
Induction. Up-regulated in CD34(+) cells upon myelomonocytic differentiation. Down-regulated in many acute myeloid leukemias. Up-regulated in primary bronchial epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract.
Pathway. Flavonoid metabolism; quercetin degradation.
Polymorphism. Genetic variations in PIR might have a sex-specific influence on bone mineral density differences in some populations, as reported by PubMed:19766747. In a cohort of 4000 Chinese, a significant statistical association has been identified, in women but not in men, between the intronic SNP rs5935970 and lumbar spine bone mineral density, and between a haplotype composed of three SNPs with bone mineral density at other sites.
Similarity. Belongs to the pirin family.
