|
Pancreatic-duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1) is a Hox-type protein that is a critical requirement for normal pancreas development and for proper differentiation of the endocrine pancreas.

|
We have identified a novel POZ domain protein, PDX-1 C terminus-interacting factor 1 (PCIF1)/SPOP, that interacts with PDX-1 both in vitro and in vivo.

|
PCIF1 is localized to the nucleus in a speckled pattern, and coexpression of PDX-1 alters the subnuclear distribution of PCIF1.
|

|
Functionally, PCIF1 inhibits PDX-1 transactivation of established target gene promoters in a specific and dose-dependent manner that requires critical amino acids in the PDX-1 C terminus.

|
PCIF1 is expressed in adult pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells, and overexpression of PCIF1 inhibits the rat insulin 1 and rat insulin 2 promoters in the MIN6 insulinoma beta cell line.
|

|
The coexpression of PCIF1 with PDX-1 in beta cells and the ability of PCIF1 to repress PDX-1 transactivation suggest that modulation of PDX-1 function by PCIF1 may regulate normal beta cell differentiation.
