Zinc-responsive transcriptional regulator ZAP1

UniProtKB accession:  P47043

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Transcription regulator controlling zinc-responsive gene expression. Binds to zinc-responsive elements (ZREs) (consensus sequence 5'-ACCYYNAAGGT-3') in the promoter of target genes (PubMed:9786867). Recruits SWI/SNF, SAGA, and Mediator complexes as coactivators in a zinc-responsive manner (PubMed:22950018). Involved in zinc ion homeostasis by zinc-responsive transcriptional regulation of the zinc uptake system genes ZTR1 and ZTR2 (PubMed:9271382). Positively regulates ETR1 expression, affecting mitochondrial function (PubMed:26711224).
