Kaiso is a BTB/POZ transcription factor that functions in vitro as a transcriptional repressor of the matrix metalloproteinase gene matrilysin and the non-canonical Wnt signaling gene Wnt-11, and as a...
Kaiso belongs to the zinc finger and broad-complex, tramtrack and bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger (BTB/POZ) protein family that has been implicated in tumorigenesis. Kaiso was first discovered in...
Rapsyn is a synapse-specific protein that is required for clustering acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Analysis of the rapsyn promoter revealed a consensus site for the transcript...
The Wnt family of secreted ligands plays critical roles during embryonic development and tumorigenesis. Here we show that Kaiso, a dual specific DNA-binding protein, functions as a bimodal regulator o...
A protein specifically binding a symmetrically methylated DNA fragment of the first intron of the mts1 gene was studied. The protein was purified by gel filtration and affinity chromatography. Mass sp...
The catenin p120 (hereafter p120(ctn)) was first identified as a Src kinase substrate and subsequently characterized as an Armadillo catenin member of the cell-cell adhesion cadherin-catenin complex. ...
Kaiso is a BTB domain protein that associates with the signaling molecule p120-catenin and binds to the methylated sequence mCGmCG or the nonmethylated sequence CTGCNA to modulate transcription. In Xe...
OBJECTIVE: To compare binding activity of different zinc finger domain of human Kaiso with methylated CpG. METHODS: pGEX constructs with different human Kaiso domain were generated and then correspond...
