Protein attributes

Sequence length	359 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Transcriptional repressor and activator. Binds to CACCC-boxes promoter elements. Also binds the GT-box of cyclin D1 promoter and mediates cell cycle progression at G1 phase as a downstream target of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10
Subunit structure	Interacts with corepressor CtBP2. Interacts with PIAS1, PIAS2, AND PIAS4; the interaction with each ligase sumoylates KLF8. Ref.8 Ref.10
Subcellular location	Nucleus Ref.10.
Tissue specificity	Ubiquitous. Ref.8
Post-translational modification	Sumoylation at Lys-67 represses transcriptional activity and reduces cell cycle progression into the G1 phase. Has no effect on subcellular location. Ref.10
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Sp1 C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. Contains 3 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
