Backbone and side chain resonance assignments of the C-terminal domain of human TGIF1.

TGIF1 is an essential regulator of cell differentiation in various biological processes, and is associated with holoprosencephaly and many cancers. The C-terminal domain of TGIF1 that was originally defined as repressive domain 2 can interact with a variety of proteins, such as transcription factor Smad2 and co-repressor Sin3A, to mediate the regulative roles of TGIF1 in diverse cell signaling pathways. However, the recognition mechanism of TGIF1 C-terminal domain for different interacting proteins remains unknown. Here, we report the nearly complete H, C, and N backbone and side chain resonance assignments of TGIF1 C-terminal domain (residues 256-375), laying a foundation for further research on the structure-function relationship of TGIF1.
