Summary

ZGPAT (zinc finger CCCH-type and G-patch domain containing, HGNC:15948) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.33, encoding Zinc finger CCCH-type with G patch domain-containing protein (Q8N5A5). Transcription repressor that specifically binds the 5’-GGAG[GA]A[GA]A-3’ consensus sequence.

Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of epidermal growth factor-activated receptor activity and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 2)

  • sZIP, an alternative splice variant of ZIP, antagonizes transcription repression and growth inhibition by ZIP in liver neoplasms. (PMID:20233718)
  • Data suggest that ZIP, USP39, Prp24/p100/SART3, and Prp43 associate to form complex instrumental in spliceosome assembly; ZIP regulates pre-mRNA splicing of USP39 independent of RNA binding; stable 35S tri-snRNP particles are enriched in Cajal body. (USP39 = ubiquitin specific peptidase 39; SART3 = squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognised by T cells 3; Prp43 = RNA helicase Prp43) (PMID:28878014)

Function. Transcription repressor that specifically binds the 5’-GGAG[GA]A[GA]A-3’ consensus sequence. Represses transcription by recruiting the chromatin multiprotein complex NuRD to target promoters. Negatively regulates expression of EGFR, a gene involved in cell proliferation, survival and migration. Its ability to repress genes of the EGFR pathway suggest it may act as a tumor suppressor. Able to suppress breast carcinogenesis. Antagonizes the transcription repression by isoform 1 by competing for the binding of the NuRD complex. Does not bind DNA.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with CHD4/Mi-2; the interaction is direct.

Subcellular location. Nucleus Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.

Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated in case of infection by HIV-1, leading to its degradation. Ubiquitination is mediated by the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DCAF1/VPRBP complex that is hijacked by HIV-1 via interaction between HIV-1 Vpr and DCAF1/VPRBP.

Induction. Down-regulated in breast carcinomas.
