Protein: Zinc finger protein zfp-1 (Protein AF-10 homolog) (P34447)
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
Function: Recruits the histone methyltransferase dot-1.1 to chromatin to methylate 'Lys-79' of histone H3 and activate transcription. Recognizes and binds histone H3 methylated at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me) at the promoters of target genes. During stress, the zfp-1-dot-1.1 complex also plays a role in the deubiquitination of histone H2B sites, which negatively modulates the RNA polymerase II-induced transcription of highly expressed genes. In response to stress, binds to the pdk-1 promoter to negatively regulate pdk-1 expression, which negatively modulates daf-16/FOXO-mediated gene expression. Thus, most likely via this mechanism, in response to stress, it confers a protective role against neuronal necrosis. Plays a role in Insulin/IGF-1-like signaling (IIS)- and diet restriction-mediated lifespan extension by controlling daf-16/FOXO and pha-4/FOXA recruitment to target promoters. May negatively regulate the expression of genes required for vulval development. May play a role in axon guidance in D-type motor neurons. May suppress sensitivity to RNAi.
