E3 SUMO-protein ligase ZBED1

Definition:

Functions as an E3-type small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) ligase which sumoylates CHD3/Mi2-alpha, causing its release from DNA. This results in suppression of CHD3/Mi2-alpha transcription repression, increased recruitment of RNA polymerase II to gene promoters and positive regulation of transcription including H1-5 and ribosomal proteins such as: RPS6, RPL10A, and RPL12. The resulting increased transcriptional activity drives cell proliferation. Binds to 5'-TGTCG[CT]GA[CT]A-3' consensus sequences in gene promoters of ribosomal proteins.; (Microbial infection) Binds to human adenovirus gene promoters and contributes to transcriptional repression and virus growth inhibition during early stages of infection.
