ZBTB7A is a transcription factor that belongs to a small family with three members in humans. It plays a crucial role in controlling the transcription of various genes, with diverse functions in hematopoiesis, oncogenesis, and metabolism.
ZBTB7A belongs to a small family of transcription factors having three members in humans (7A, 7B, and 7C). They share a BTB/POZ protein interaction domain at the amino end and a zinc -finger DNA-binding domain at the carboxyl end. They control the transcription of a wide range of genes, having varied functions in hematopoiesis, oncogenesis, and meta-bolism (in particular glycolysis). ZBTB7A-binding profiles at gene promoters contain a consensus G(A/C)CCC motif, fol-lowed by a CCCC sequence in some instances. Structural and mutational investigations suggest that DNA-specific contacts with the four -finger tandem array of ZBTB7A are formed sequentially, initiated from ZF1-ZF2 binding to G(A/C)CCC before spreading to ZF3-ZF4, which bind the DNA backbone and the 30 CCCC sequence, respectively. Here, we studied some mutations found in t(8;21)-positive acute myeloid leukemia patients that occur within the ZBTB7A DNA-binding domain. We determined that these mutations generally impair ZBTB7A DNA binding, with the most severe disruptions resulting from mutations in ZF1 and ZF2, and the least from a frameshift mutation in ZF3 that results in partial mislocalization. Infor-mation provided here on ZBTB7A-DNA interactions is likely applicable to ZBTB7B/C, which have overlapping functions with ZBTB7A in controlling primary metabolism.
