Description:
N4BP2L2 (or PFAAP5) was identified by yeast two-hybrid screening to interact with the transcriptional repressor Gfi1 and neutrophil elastase ELA2, which are involved in the regulation of neutrophil production. It is a nuclear protein containing a predicted nuclear localization signal. The carboxyl domain shares similarity to B3BP (BCL-3-binding protein) by having a Walker motif A, which contributes to B3BP interaction with the BCL-3 oncoprotein and p300/CBP histone deacetylase. Hence, N4BP2L2 may act as a transcriptional regulatory protein. It is expressed in bone marrow in promyelocytes and hematopoietic stem cells, suggesting a role in neutrophil differentiation. A variation in N4BP2L2 was associated with Hb F response to hydroxyurea in sickle cell disease cohorts.
