Cip1-interacting zinc finger protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CIZ1 gene.[5][6]

Function

[edit]

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger DNA binding transcription factor that interacts with CIP1 (p21 / CDKN1A), part of a complex with cyclin E. The encoded protein may regulate the cellular localization of CIP1.[6]

Clinical significance

[edit]

An altered circulating form of the Ciz1 protein is synthesized by lung cancer cells, even when they are at a very early stage. Hence detection of this protein variant in blood could be used as a biomarker for early detection of lung cancer.[7]

Ciz1 mutant mice

[edit]

Aged (18-mo-old) Ciz1-/- mice have increased neuronal DNA double-strand breaks that likely contributed to their loss of neurons and cognitive decline with age.[8] Embryonic fibroblasts from Ciz1-/- mice show abnormal sensitivity to γ-irradiation with persistent DNA breaks, aberrant cell cycle progression and increased apoptosis.[8]

Interactions

[edit]

CIZ1 has been shown to interact with P21.[5]
