| Post Translational Modifications | Acetylation at Lys-43 prolongs the protein half-life by preventing ubiquitin-mediated degradation and reduces the interaction between NF-E4 and HDAC1, potentially maximizing the activating ability of the factor at the gamma-promoter. Ubiquitinated.leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Acetylation at Lys-43 prevents ubiquitination. |
| Function | Functions as part of the SSP (stage selector protein) complex, a complex that contributes to the preferential expression of the gamma-gene in fetal erythroid cells by facilitating the interaction of the gamma-globin genes with enhancer elements contained in the locus control region (LCR). The complex binds to the stage selector element (SSE) in the proximal gamma-globin promoter. In contrast, isoform 2 acts as a repressor of gamma-globin gene expression by preventing NFE2 and RNA polymerase II recruitment to the promoter. |
