RUNX3 protein (His tag), recombinant human

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the Human RUNX3 protein (Q13761) (Met 1-Tyr 415) was expressed with a N-His tag. Sequence: Met 1-Tyr 415. Fusion tag: N-His Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 50 kDa. Protein function: RUNX3, also called CBFA3, AML-2 or PEBP2-alpha C, is a member of the Runt domain family of nuclear transcriptional regulators. All of the RUNX proteins form dimers with CBF-beta. The runt domain (aa 54-186) is required for DNA binding, while a pro/ser/thr Protein function: Forms the heterodimeric complex core-binding factor (CBF) with CBFB. RUNX members modulate the transcription of their target genes through recognizing the core consensus binding sequence 5'- TGTGGT-3', or very rarely, 5'-TGCGGT-3', within their regulatory regions via their runt domain, while CBFB is a non-DNA-binding regulatory subunit that allosterically enhances the sequence-specific DNA-binding capacity of RUNX. The heterodimers bind to the core site of a number of enhancers and promoters, including murine leukemia virus, polyomavirus enhancer, T-cell receptor enhancers, LCK, IL3 and GM-CSF promoters. May be involved in the control of cellular proliferation and/or differentiation. In association with ZFHX3, up- regulates CDKN1A promoter activity following TGF-beta stimulation (PubMed:20599712). CBF complexes repress ZBTB7B transcription factor during cytotoxic (CD8+) T cell development. They bind to RUNX-binding sequence within the ZBTB7B locus acting as transcriptional silencer and allowing for cytotoxic T cell differentiation. CBF complexes binding to the transcriptional silencer is essential for recruitment of nuclear protein complexes that catalyze epigenetic modifications to establish epigenetic ZBTB7B silencing.
