Interferon-inducible myeloid differentiation transcriptional activator

This gene encodes a member of the HIN-200 (hematopoietic interferon-inducible nuclear antigens with 200 amino acid repeats) family of cytokines. The encoded protein contains domains involved in DNA binding, transcriptional regulation, and protein-protein interactions. The protein localizes to the nucleoplasm and nucleoli, and interacts with p53 and retinoblastoma-1. It modulates p53 function, and inhibits cell growth in the Ras/Raf signaling pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011],

Function:May function as a transcriptional repressor. Could have a role in the regulation of hematopoeitic differentiation through activation of unknown target genes. Controls cellular proliferation by modulating the functions of cell cycle regulatory factors including p53/TP53 and the retinoblastoma protein. May be involved in the senescence of prostate epithelial cells.,induction:Strongly induced by gamma interferon and, to a lesser extent, by alpha interferon. In HL-60 cells, maximum induction by gamma-interferon occurs within 12 hours whereas, for alpha-interferon, only 10-fold induction was observed after 36 hours. Induced in vitro by dimethylsulfoxide, retinoic acid and 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3.,PTM:Isoform 3 seems to show a minor degree of complex carbohydrate addition.,PTM:Phosphorylated on Ser and Thr.,sequence Caution:Intron retention.,similarity:Belongs to the HIN-200 family.,similarity:Contains 1 DAPIN domain.,similarity:Contains 2 HIN-200 domains.,subunit:Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 3 can homo- and hetero-dimerize. Binds double-stranded DNA and cell cycle regulatory factors including p53 and the retinoblastoma protein.,tissue specificity:Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, fibroblasts and lymphoid cells. Present in myeloid precursors (CD34+) and throughout monocyte development, but its expression is down-regulated in erythroid and polymorphonuclear precursor cells. Present in prostate, ovary and breast (at protein level).,

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cellular distribution is dependent on the acetylation status of the multipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS); NLS acetylation promotes cytoplasmic localization. Localizes in the nucleus during human herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1) infection.
