Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have identified a novel human gene encoding a 59-kDa POZ-AT hook-zinc finger protein (PATZ) that interacts with RNF4, a mediator of androgen receptor activity, and acts as a transcriptional repressor. PATZ cDNA was isolated through a two-hybrid interaction screening using the RING finger protein RNF4 as a bait. In vitro and in vivo interaction between RNF4 and PATZ was demonstrated by protein-protein affinity chromatography and coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Such interaction occurred through a small region of PATZ containing an AT-hook DNA binding domain. Immunofluorescence staining and confocal microscopy showed that PATZ localizes in distinct punctate nuclear regions and colocalizes with RNF4. Functional analysis was performed by cotransfection assays: PATZ acted as a transcriptional repressor, whereas its partner RNF4 behaved as a transcriptional activator. When both proteins were overexpressed a strong repression of the basal transcription was observed, indicating that the association of PATZ with RNF4 switches activation to repression. In addition, RNF4 was also found to associate with HMGI(Y), a chromatin-modeling factor containing AT-hook domains.
