A 5T/6T polymorphism in the human MMP-3 promoter affects gene expression and impacts the risk and/or severity of various pathological conditions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in human fibroblasts homozygous for the 6T site demonstrate that it is bound by NF-kappaB and ZBP-89 transcription factors in its native chromatin. ChIP in COS-1 cells transfected with plasmids containing the 5T and 6T sites in the context of 2kb of the MMP-3 promoter showed that NF-kappaB p50 binds preferentially to the 6T site, while more ZBP-89 binding is detected to the 5T site. Over-expressed ZBP-89 increased transcription from the 5T promoter but not from the 6T, while NF-kappaB decreased transcription from both promoters, even in the presence of excess ZBP-89. A model is suggested in which the physiological impact of the polymorphism is dependent on the relative levels and activities of these competing factors in various cell types and conditions.

Zinc-binding protein-89 (ZBP-89) cooperates with NF-κB to regulate expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in response to inflammatory cytokines.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have both protective and pathological roles in inflammation, and transcriptional mechanisms are important in regulating physiological levels to maintain health. Zinc-binding protein-89 (ZBP-89) is a transcription factor with roles in regulating vital cellular processes, acting through complex interactions with other proteins to ensure appropriate expression of tightly regulated genes. ZBP-89 binds the MMP-3 promoter at a polymorphic (5A/6A) site along with NF-κB.

Background: Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is overexpressed in cancers and its inhibition enhances anti-tumor chemotherapy. ZBP-89, a transcription factor, can induce pro-apoptotic Bak and reduce HDAC3 but the mechanism is unknown. Pin1, a molecular switch that determines the fate of phosphoproteins, is known to interact with HDAC3.

Zinc-binding protein-89 (ZBP-89; ZNF148, BERF-1, BFCOL-1) is a zinc-finger transcription factor of the Kruppel family. It has been shown to regulate the expression of a number of genes, acting as either an activator or repressor of gene expression, depending on the context. It is over-expressed in several cancers, but has been shown to be involved in apoptosis and to have a negative influence on cell growth in part by interactions with p53.

The neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) gene encodes for a group of growth factors with multiple functions during mammalian development. Overexpression of Nrg1 is found in many different cancer types and correlates with cancer progression and an aggressive phenotype. In this study we identified the promoter of Nrg1 type I isoforms.
