Transcriptional activator which probably serves as a general switch factor for erythroid development. It binds to DNA sites with the consensus sequence [AT]GATA[AG] within regulatory regions of globin genes and of other genes expressed in erythroid cells.
Post-translational: Highly phosphorylated on serine residues. Phosphorylation on Ser-310 is enhanced on erythroid differentiation. Phosphorylation on Ser-142 promotes sumoylation on Lys-137 (By similarity).Sumoylation on Lys-137 is enhanced by phosphorylation on Ser-142 and by interaction with PIAS4. Sumoylation with SUMO1 has no effect on transcriptional activity (By similarity).Acetylated at 2 conserved lysine-rich motifs by CREBBP in vitro. Acetylation does not affect DNA-binding in vitro but is essential to induce erythroid differentiation and for binding chromatin in vivo (By similarity). Acetylated on Lys-233, Lys-245 Lys-246 by EP300
Recombinant Human GATA-1/GATA1 Protein (rp214486) - SDS-PAGE 2 μg/lane of Recombinant Human GATA-1/GATA1 Protein was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (N) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing a band at 45.7 kDa under reducing conditions and 44.3 & 97.8 kDa under non-reducing conditions. GATA-1/GATA1 may form homodimers (Uniprot: P15976).
