PRDM Proteins: Molecular Mechanisms in Signal Transduction and Transcriptional Regulation

Abstract: PRDM (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ homology domain containing) protein family members are characterized by the presence of a PR domain and a variable number of Zn-finger repeats. Experimental evidence has shown that the PRDM proteins play an important role in gene expression regulation, modifying the chromatin structure either directly, through the intrinsic methyltransferase activity, or indirectly through the recruitment of chromatin remodeling complexes. PRDM proteins have a dual action: they mediate the effect induced… Show more

“…Additionally, mRNA levels of beige cell markers such as CD137 and T-Box1 ( Tbx1 ), and mitochondria markers such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (Cpt1a) and Cpt2, were also higher, suggesting beneficial effects of Notch depletion [54]. This has been also confirmed in mouse studies, where Notch specific deletion in inguinal WAT induced Ucp1 , cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector A ( Cidea) , Pgc1α and Prdm16 expression [56]. Consistent with these reports, our data predict an inhibitory effect of EPA on Hif1αn and Notch1 genes, which may increase thermogenesis and energy expenditure by increasing levels of Prdm16 , Pgc1α , and Ucp1 as the key regulators of thermogenesis.…”

“…The paired box transcription factor Pax-5, known as a B-cell-specific activator protein, is a key regulator of lineagespecific gene expression and differentiation in B lymphocytes (Fitzsimmons et al 2001). PRDM (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ homology domain containing) proteins have a pivotal role in the transduction of signals that control cell proliferation and differentiation and, consequently, neoplastic transformation (Zazzo et al 2013). An analysis of position -793 (CT) in the 5' flanking region of the TNFα gene revealed a connection between CCAAT binding factors for the T allele.…”

“…2 The PRDM proteins belong to the SET domain protein family characterized PR domains and zinc fingers, and appear to be transcriptional regulators that either exert enzymatic activity on histones or recruit cofactors to modify target gene expression. 3 PRDM family members are dysregulated in many human diseases, especially in hematological malignancies and solid tumors, acting as tumor suppressors or drivers during the oncogenic processes. 4 For example, in a subset of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, PRDM1 promotes cancer progression and is associated with shorter failure-free survival, while PRDM11 inhibits lymphomagenesis.…”
