| UniProt functional annotation for Q9NQB0 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9NQB0. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. Acts as repressor in the absence of CTNNB1, and as activator in its presence. Activates transcription from promoters with several copies of the Tcf motif 5'-CCTTTGATC-3' in the presence of CTNNB1. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by TCF7L2/TCF4 and CTNNB1. Expression of dominant-negative mutants results in cell-cycle arrest in G1. Necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial stem-cell compartment of the small intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12408868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19443654, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22699938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9727977}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with TGFB1I1 (By similarity). Interacts with CTNNB1 (via the armadillo repeat); forms stable transcription complex (PubMed:9065401, PubMed:9916915, PubMed:10080941, PubMed:19816403, PubMed:28829046, PubMed:29739711, PubMed:17052462). Interacts with EP300. Interacts with NLK. Interacts with CCDC85B (probably through the HMG box); prevents interaction with CTNNB1. Interacts with TNIK. Interacts with MAD2L2; prevents TCF7L2/TCF4 binding to promZIPK/DAPK3oters, negatively modulating its transcriptional activity. Interacts with ZIPK/DAPK3. Interacts with XIAP/BIRC4 and TLE3. Interacts with DDIT3/CHOP. The CTNNB1 and TCF7L2/TCF4 complex interacts with PML (isoform PML-4). Identified in a complex with CTNNB1 and FERMT2. Interacts with SPIN1 (PubMed:22258766, PubMed:24589551, PubMed:29061846). Interacts with C11orf84/SPINDOC in a SPIN1-dependent manner (PubMed:29061846). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q924A0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10080941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11266540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12446687, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12556497, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16434966, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16714285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17052462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17873903, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19443654, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19816403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21454679, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22155184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22258766, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22304967, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22699938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24589551, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28829046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29061846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29739711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9065401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9916915}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus, PML body {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727872, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22699938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9916915}. Note=Diffuse pattern. Colocalizes with SUMO1 and PIAS4 in a subset of PML (promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Detected in epithelium from small intestine, with the highest expression at the top of the crypts and a gradient of expression from crypt to villus. Detected in colon epithelium and colon cancer, and in epithelium from mammary gland and carcinomas derived therefrom. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9916915}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Highly expressed in crypt regions and barely detectable in villi in epithelium from fetal small intestine at week 16. At week 22 expression in villi had increased strongly. | |
| Domain: | The promoter-specific activation domain interacts with the transcriptional coactivator EP300. | |
| Ptm: | In vitro, phosphorylated by TNIK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12556497}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated at Thr-201 and/or Thr-212 by NLK. Phosphorylation by NLK at these sites inhibits DNA-binding by TCF7L2/TCF4, thereby preventing transcriptional activation of target genes of the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12556497}. | |
| Ptm: | Polysumoylated. Sumoylation is enhanced by PIAS family members and desumoylation is enhanced by SENP2. Sumoylation/desumoylation regulates TCF7L2/TCF4 transcription activity in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway without altering interaction with CTNNB1 nor binding to DNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12727872}. | |
| Disease: | Note=Constitutive activation and subsequent transactivation of target genes may lead to the maintenance of stem-cell characteristics (cycling and longevity) in cells that should normally undergo terminal differentiation and constitute the primary transforming event in colorectal cancer (CRC). | |
| Disease: | Diabetes mellitus, non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM) [MIM:125853]: A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis caused by a lack of sensitivity to the body's own insulin. Affected individuals usually have an obese body habitus and manifestations of a metabolic syndrome characterized by diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. The disease results in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16415884, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24390345}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 12]: Low expression in pancreas and colon. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 13]: Common splicing form, lowest expression in skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform 14]: High transcriptional activity. Major isoform in liver. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TCF/LEF family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
