Description:
The JAZF1 gene encodes a nuclear protein containing three putative C2H2-type zinc finger motifs. It is best characterized for its transcriptional repressive effects on NR2C2 (TR4), an orphan nuclear receptor of the steroid receptor family whose target genes play important roles in growth, development and metabolism. NR2C2 is also a candidate modifier of fetal γ-globin gene expression [GeneID: 344]. Genetic variation in the JAZF1 gene was associated with high HbF levels in sickle cell disease patients, indicating a role for JAZF1 in haemoglobin production during adult erythropoiesis. Functional studies revealed higher JAZF1 expression levels in adult erythroid cells compared to fetal liver cells, as well as an upregulation of fetal and embryonic globin chains in JAZF1 knockdown erythroid cells. The downregulation of JAZF1 did not affect the expression levels of major repressors of HBG including BCL11A and LRF, or other transcription factors of the DRED complex, suggesting an independent mechanism of globin regulation. JAZF1 was suggested to be a chromatin modulator that recruits components of the histone H2A.Z chaperone complex in regulatory regions to control gene expression, including the β-globin locus (LCRB) [GeneID: 5]. These findings suggest a role for JAZF1 as a transcriptional repressor of γ-globin gene in human adult erythroid cells (61st ASH 2019, Abstract #3546).
