Therefore, some gene-specific specialization exists among these three glucose-dependent repressors.
These ORFs have sequence similarity to a conserved hypothetical protein found in several bacterial genera and the tetR family of transcriptional repressors, respectively.
In transfected cells, subdomains of TAF II 135 can act as dominant negative repressors of CREB activity [ [ 26 27 28 ] ]. It has further been suggested that some neurodegenerative diseases may result from sequestration of TAF II 135 by expanded polyglutamine domains and consequent interference with CREB activity [ 29].
The MYND domain is located between the two halves of the SET domain and similar domains have been identified in a number of proteins that function as transcriptional repressors, including the ETO protein that is fused to the AML-1 transcription factor in the t(8;21) translocation in acute myeloid leukemias [ 39 ] . The MYND contains two zinc finger motifs and is a protein-protein interaction interface responsible for the recruitment of corepressors [ 39 40 41 ] .
