Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within embryonic skeletal system development; positive regulation of myotome development; and regulation of somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and long bone. Orthologous to human DMRT2 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

We show here that the unstructured hinge domain, necessary for the targeting of HP1alpha to constitutive heterochromatin, recognizes parallel G-quadruplex (G4) assemblies formed by the TElomeric Repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) transcribed from the telomere.
Title: Heterochromatin protein 1α interacts with parallel RNA and DNA G-quadruplexes.
Here, we show that TNF-alpha, which is induced by various psychological stresses, induces the p38-dependent phosphorylation of ATF7, a stress-responsive chromatin regulator, in mouse testicular germ cells. This caused a release of ATF7 from the TERRA gene promoter in the subtelomeric region, which disrupted heterochromatin and induced TERRA.

Findings indicate that CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-driven doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 2 protein (TERRA) transcription acts in cis to facilitate telomere repeat replication and chromosome stability.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
