Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dorsal appendage formation; regionalization; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extended germ band embryo; eye disc; and ventral ectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant mental retardation 45. Orthologous to human CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Cic regulated spatially restricted expression of Toll/IL-1 signaling targets in Drosophila embryogenesis.
Title: Capicua controls Toll/IL-1 signaling targets independently of RTK regulation.
We have thus uncovered a previously unknown mechanism of down-regulation of Cic activity by Mnb and Wap, which operates independently from the ERK-mediated control of Cic. Therefore, Cic functions as an integrator of upstream signals that are essential for tissue patterning and organ growth
Title: Minibrain and Wings apart control organ growth and tissue patterning through down-regulation of Capicua.
Analysis of CSN1b mutant phenotypes revealed a requirement for the COP9 signalosome to prevent ectopic expression of Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) target genes. It does so by protecting Capicua, a transcriptional repressor of EGFR target genes, from EGFR pathway-dependent ubiquitylation.
Title: COP9 signalosome subunits protect Capicua from MAPK-dependent and -independent mechanisms of degradation.
Data indicate that the HMG-box of Capicua (CIC) does not bind DNA alone but instead requires a distant motif (referred to as C1) present at the C-terminus of all CIC proteins.
Title: A new mode of DNA binding distinguishes Capicua from other HMG-box factors and explains its mutation patterns in cancer.
These studies identify Cic, Pnt, and Ets21C as critical downstream effectors of EGFR signaling in Drosophila Intestinal Stem Cells
Title: EGFR/Ras Signaling Controls Drosophila Intestinal Stem Cell Proliferation via Capicua-Regulated Genes.
Thus, Cic proteins employ distinct repressor mechanisms that are associated with discrete structural changes in the evolutionary history of this protein family.
