Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of neural specific, zinc finger-containing DNA-binding proteins. The protein binds to the promoter regions of proteolipid proteins of the central nervous system and plays a role in the developing nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PICOT knock-down in Jurkat T cells resulted in a reduced histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) at the PRC2 target gene, myelin transcription factor 1 (MYT1), suggesting that PICOT binding to EED alters PRC2-regulated transcriptional repression, and potentially contributes to the epigenetic regulation of chromatin silencing and remodeling.
Title: PICOT binding to the polycomb group protein, EED, alters H3K27 methylation at the MYT1 PRC2 target gene.
Here we demonstrate that re-expression of Myt1 or Myt1l in glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines slows proliferation, that expression of both is lower in more aggressive sub-types of glioma, and that reduced expression correlates with poor prognosis in both GBM and low grade glioma, and our data suggest that Myt1 and Myt1l directly repress expression of YAP1, a protein which promotes proliferation and GBM growth.
Title: Myt1 and Myt1l transcription factors limit proliferation in GBM cells by repressing YAP1 expression.
wide analyses of the effects of Myt1 and Myt1l expression in a glioblastoma cell line suggest that the two proteins have largely similar effects on endogenous gene expression. Transcriptional repression is likely mediated by binding to DNA via the known consensus site, whereas this site is not associated with the transcriptional start sites of genes with higher expression in the presence of Myt1 or Myt1l.

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.
