Abstract
The interferon inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins mediate several cellular processes such as homotypic cell adhesion functions of interferons (IFNs) and cellular anti-proliferative activities. We show that the BAF complex-mediated induction of IFITM3 is dependent on binding of the transcriptional enhancer factor 1 (TEF-1/TEAD1) to the M-CAT like elements of its promoter. TEF-1 knock-down reduced the BAF complex-mediated activation of IFITM3 promoter. In the absence of the BAF complex, TEF-1 is repressive to IFITM3 expression. The regulation of IFITM3 by TEF-1 demonstrates that TEF-1 dependent regulation is more widespread than its previously established role in the expression of muscle specific genes.Entities:
