General annotation (Comments)

Function

Transcription regulator that acts as a key regulator of lineage commitment of immature T-cell precursors. Necessary and sufficient for commitment of CD4 lineage, while its absence causes CD8 commitment. Development of immature T-cell precursors (thymocytes) to either the CD4 helper or CD8 killer T-cell lineages correlates precisely with their T-cell receptor specificity for major histocompatibility complex class II or class I molecules, respectively. Transcriptional repressor of the collagen COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. May also function as a repressor of fibronectin and possibly other extracellular matrix genes. Ref.2 Ref.3

Subcellular location

Nucleus.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed, with a higher level in skin. Expressed in thymus. Restricted to CD4 cells (mature single positive CD4+ and intermediate CD4+CD8+ cells). Ref.2 Ref.3

Developmental stage

Expressed, beginning at 9.5 days of gestation and at 10.5 days in regions destined to become skin. In adult animals, expression is predominantly in skin.

Involvement in disease

Defects in Zbtb7b are the cause of helper deficient disease (HD). HD mice are distinguished by the virtual absence of peripheral T-cells of the CD4+CD8- major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted T-helper subset due to a specific block in thymic development. The developmental defect is selective for CD4+CD8- cells; the maturation of CD4-CD8+ and gamma delta T-cells is normal indicating that lineage commitment is specifically perturbed without affecting positive selection. Ref.3

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain.

Contains 4 C2H2-type zinc fingers.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA61956.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 96, 328 and 336.

The sequence AAA61956.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Chimeric cDNA.
