Function:Transcription regulator of erythrocyte development. Binds to the CACCC box in the beta-globin gene promoter and activates transcription. When sumoylation , acts as a Probably serves as a general switch factor for erythroid development. When sumoylated , acts as a transcriptional repressor , by promoting interaction with CDH2/MI2beta and also represses megakaryocytic differentiation. ,PTM:Acetylated; can be acetylated on both Lys-274 and Lys-288. Acetylation on Lys-274 (by CBP) appears to be the major site affecting EKLF transactivation activity. ,PTM:Phosphorylated primarily on serine residues in the transactivation domain. Phosphorylation on Thr-23 is critical for the transactivation activity. ,PTM:Sumoylated; sumoylation , promoted by PIAS1 , leads to repression of megakaryocyte differentiation. Also promotes the interaction with the CDH4 subunit of the NuRD repression complex. ,similarity:Belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. ,similarity:Contains 3 C2H2-type zinc fingers. ,subcellular location:Colocalizes with SUMO1 in nuclear speckles. ,subunit:Interacts with CBP and EP300; the interactions enhance the transactivation activity. Interacts with PCAF; the interaction does not acetylate EKLF and inhibits its transactivation activity. ,tissue specificity:Expression restricted to adult bone marrow and fetal liver. Not expressed in myeloid nor lymphoid cell lines. ,
