Function

Multifunctional transcription factor that exhibits positive and negative control on a large number of cellular and viral genes by binding to sites overlapping the transcription start site (PubMed:15329343, PubMed:17721549, PubMed:24326773, PubMed:25787250). Binds to the consensus sequence 5'-CCGCCATNTT-3'; some genes have been shown to contain a longer binding motif allowing enhanced binding; the initial CG dinucleotide can be methylated greatly reducing the binding affinity (PubMed:15329343, PubMed:17721549, PubMed:24326773, PubMed:25787250). The effect on transcription regulation is depending upon the context in which it binds and diverse mechanisms of action include direct activation or repression, indirect activation or repression via cofactor recruitment, or activation or repression by disruption of binding sites or conformational DNA changes (PubMed:15329343, PubMed:17721549, PubMed:24326773, PubMed:25787250). Its activity is regulated by transcription factors and cytoplasmic proteins that have been shown to abrogate or completely inhibit YY1-mediated activation or repression (PubMed:15329343, PubMed:17721549, PubMed:24326773, PubMed:25787250). For example, it acts as a repressor in absence of adenovirus E1A protein but as an activator in its presence (PubMed:1655281). Acts synergistically with the SMAD1 and SMAD4 in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-mediated cardiac-specific gene expression (PubMed:15329343). Binds to SMAD binding elements (SBEs) (5'-GTCT/AGAC-3') within BMP response element (BMPRE) of cardiac activating regions (PubMed:15329343). May play an important role in development and differentiation. Proposed to recruit the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex to target genes that are transcriptional repressed (PubMed:11158321). Involved in DNA repair (PubMed:18026119, PubMed:28575647). In vitro, binds to DNA recombination intermediate structures (Holliday junctions). Plays a role in regulating enhancer activation (PubMed:28575647). Recruits the PR-DUB complex to specific gene-regulatory regions (PubMed:20805357). Proposed core component of the chromatin remodeling INO80 complex which is involved in transcriptional regulation, DNA replication and probably DNA repair; proposed to target the INO80 complex to YY1-responsive elements.

Activity summary

YY1 also known as Yin Yang 1 is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences. It is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 68 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues including liver lung and kidney. Functionally YY1 can both activate and repress transcription making it versatile in regulating gene activity. It interacts with several co-factors and other proteins influencing chromatin structure and gene expression.

Biological function summary

Yin Yang 1 plays an important role in various cellular processes such as cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. It is part of a chromatin remodeling complex where it assists in modifying the architecture of chromatin to control gene activity. Due to its ability to bind to diverse DNA motifs YY1 is involved in embryonic development and cellular differentiation. Additionally it interacts with other transcription factors to coordinate the expression of genes critical for cell cycle progression and survival.

Pathways

The Yin Yang 1 transcription factor is integrally involved in several key signaling pathways. It plays a notable role in the Wnt signaling pathway which is vital for controlling cell growth and differentiation. YY1 interacts with proteins such as β-catenin an important player in the Wnt pathway to mediate its transcriptional effects. Furthermore it also functions within the mTOR signaling pathway associating with proteins like mTOR itself to impact cell metabolism and growth.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in the expression or function of YY1 have been implicated in several conditions. Dysregulation of YY1 has strong associations with cancer as its interactions with proteins like MYC can lead to abnormal cell proliferation and tumor development. Additionally its role in neuronal differentiation links it with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. In these contexts YY1's interaction with other transcription factors and regulatory proteins influences disease progression and severity.
