"In contrast to Nan-KLF1, CDA-KLF1 binding sites are mutually exclusive with WT-KLF1 sites; that is, the CDA-KLF1 mutant will not recognize, bind nor activate any of WT-KLF1 targets."

sparser
"The Nan-KLF1 mouse mutant was generated by N -ethyl- N -nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis of a C3H/He male mated to a C3H/He healthy wild type female [ xref ]."

sparser
"As a result, both mutations acquire new yet distinct features regarding the transcriptional activity of Nan-KLF1 and CDA-KLF1 variants as compared to WT-KLF1."

sparser
"Therefore, Nan-KLF1 is limited in recognition of some WT-KLF1 target genes, yet also acquires the ability to activate new, ectopic neomorphic genes [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"The first case concerns murine severe n eonatal an emia (Nan) caused by the Nan-KLF1 mutant."

sparser
"As a result Nan-KLF1 affects mostly the dynamics of progression from primitive to definitive erythropoiesis during mouse development and not the expression of embryonic globins, which stay low (0.3% [ xref ])."

sparser
"In addition, recognition of a novel target DNA sequence by Nan-EKLF leads to ectopic expression of genes not normally expressed in the red cell, yielding a neomorphic phenotype with cellular and systemic consequences xref , xref ."

sparser
"Nan-KLF1 also ectopically binds sites not normally engaged by KLF1 xref , xref ."

sparser
"Identification of the Nan-KLF1 and CDA-KLF1 unique DNA binding sites."

sparser
"Third, we find that for a subset of ectopic targets, gene activation is achieved in Nan/+ only by Nan-EKLF binding to distal enhancers, leading to RNA polymerase II pause-release."

sparser
"Exploring the relationship between aberrant Nan-KLF1 binding and ectopic gene regulation at the genome-wide level we find 205 KLF1 promoter peaks within KLF1 DEGs (28%) and 102 Nan-KLF1 promoter peaks within the Nan-KLF1 DEGs (9%)."

sparser
"Whereas KLF1 only binds G, Nan-KLF1 binds A, G or T at this position in vitro and in vivo ."

sparser
"First, we show that Nan-EKLF limits normal EKLF binding to a subset of its sites."

sparser
"Expression of Dusp7 , Sh3bp1 and Zfp36 gave the highest scores for the neomorphic targets of Nan-KLF1."

sparser
"ChIPseq confirmed ectopic Nan-KLF1 binding to an altered consensus sequence, CCM- NG C-CCN, with the result that >60% of Nan-KLF1 occupied sites do not overlap wild type (WT) KLF1 sites."

sparser
"In the Nan mouse model, the E339D substitution in the second ZnF within the Nan allele, alters Nan-KLF1 binding specificity, resulting in an aberrant transcriptome ( xref )."

sparser
"Such aberrant activation of genes encoding secreted factors that exert a negative effect on erythropoiesis and iron use together with intrinsic hypomorphic effects of Nan-KLF1 within erythroid compartment contribute to exacerbation of the severity of neonatal anemia [ xref , xref , xref , xref ]."

sparser
"We propose a model whereby ectopic binding of Nan-KLF1 not only directly drives aberrant gene transcription, but sometimes indirectly disrupts the activity of KLF1-independent erythroid genes or housekeeping genes."

sparser
"Despite this, expression of genes that mutant Nan-KLF1 does not bind is somehow disrupted through an unknown mechanism."

sparser
"Using the in vivo assay, the following binding motifs presented on G-rich strand were determined: for Nan-KLF1 5′-NGG-G C/A N-G/TGG-3′ and for CDA-KLF1 5-NGG-G A/G G-GG/AG-3′ [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"The mutant CDA-KLF1 and Nan-KLF1 alleles lose all or part of their transcription capacity to activate wild-type KLF1 targets ( xref ) and thus generate a haploinsufficient genetic background in heterozygous organisms."

sparser
"The Nan-KLF1 variant narrows and limits the recognition of WT sites to those having a C in 5th position, but at the same time extends the ability to bind sequences having any nucleotide in the 6th position of the DNA binding motif."

sparser
"Indeed, we previously reported reduced Nan-KLF1 binding to some established KLF1 target sites in vitro by EMSA ( xref )."

sparser
"Ectopic transcription is activated following ectopic Nan-KLF1 binding to DNA."

sparser
"We found no evidence for Nan-KLF1 binding."

sparser
"Nan-KLF1 binds an altered sequence motif."

sparser
"The hypomorphic model of the biochemical functions of Nan-KLF1 and CDA-KLF1 cannot fully explain the dominant heterozygous phenotype."

sparser
"Second, we find that ectopic binding of Nan-EKLF occurs largely at enhancers and activates transcription through pioneering activity."

sparser
"Given the large background of molecular, biochemical, and genetic studies of KLF1, of particular interest is to review and compare the mechanisms of action between WT, Nan-KLF1, and CDA-KLF1."
