Abstract

The C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) are ubiquitous corepressors that recruit histone-modifying enzymes to a variety of sequence specific DNA-binding proteins and other transcriptional regulators. CtBPs appear to play an important role in mediating repression and transforming activities of a variety of hematopoietic transcription factors such as Basic Krüppel-like Factor/Krüppel-like Factor 3 (BKLF/KLF3), Friend of GATA (FOG), Evi-1 and members of the Ikaros family. Mice lacking CtBPs die during embryonic development and exhibit defects in a wide range of developmental processes, including aberrant heart formation and absence of blood vessels in the yolk sac. The ongoing identification of repressed target genes and interacting transcriptional partners will help to unravel the contributions of CtBP proteins to hematopoiesis.
