CtBP1 is a 48 kDa cellular phosphoprotein that associates with various proteins and functions as a corepressor of transcription. CtBP1 and the related protein CtBP2 are characterized as C-terminal binding proteins of adenovirus E1A, and they preferentially associate with the E1A via a 5 amino acid motif, PLDLS, to repress E1A induced oncogenesis and cellular transformation.CtBP1 is expressed from embryo to adult, but CtBP2 is mainly expressed during embryogenesis. During skeletal and T cell development, CtBP1 and CtBP2 associate with the PLDLSL domain of deltaEF1, a cellular zinc finger-homeodomainprotein, and thereby enhances deltaEF1-induced transcriptional silencing. In addition, CtBP complexes with CtIP, a 125 kDa protein that recognizes distinctly different protein motifs from CtBP. CtIP binds to the BRCT repeats within the breast cancer gene BRCA1 and enables CtBP to influence BRCA1 activity. CtIP/CtBP binding to BRCA1 inhibits the transactivation of the p21 promoter, and it is critical for regulating p21 transcription in response to DNA damage.Synonyms: C-terminal-binding protein 2
