"Krüppel-like factor 1 (KLF1/EKLF) is a transcription factor that globally activates genes involved in erythroid cell development. [...] KLF1 belongs to the KLF family of transcription factors that binds the G-rich strand of so-called CACCC-box motifs located in regulatory regions of numerous erythroid genes."[1]

Human genes

The following human genes encode Kruppel-like factors: KLF1, KLF2, KLF3, KLF4, KLF5, KLF6, KLF7, KLF8, KLF9, KLF10, KLF11, KLF12, KLF13, KLF14, KLF15, KLF16, KLF17.

Interactions

Consensus sequences

"Using the in vitro CASTing method, we identified a new set of sequences bound by [congenital dyserythropoietic anemia] CDA-KLF1, and based on them we defined the consensus binding site as 5′-NGG-GG(T/G)-(T/G)(T/G)(T/G)-3′. It differs from the consensus binding sites for [wild-type] WT-KLF1, 5′-NGG-G(C/T)G-(T/G)GG-3′, and for [neonatal anemia] Nan-KLF1, 5′-NGG-G(C/A)N-(T/G)GG-3′, as well."[1]

An apparent consensus is GGG(A/C/G/T)(A/C/G/T)(G/T)(G/T)(G/T).

Samplings

Copying an apparent consensus sequence for the KLF of GGGTCGTG and putting it in "⌘F" finds six located between ZSCAN22 and A1BG and none between ZNF497 and A1BG as can be found by the computer programs.
