Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionhizr-1, the high-zinc-activated nuclear receptor, encodes a nuclear receptor transcription factor that has an evolutionarily conserved DNA-binding domain and ligand-binding domain; HIZR-1 is both necessary and sufficient to activate transcription of endogenous zinc-homeostasis genes in response to high dietary zinc; furthermore, HIZR-1 is necessary for growth and development when animals are exposed to high levels of zinc; the ligand binding domain directly binds zinc, which promotes nuclear accumulation and activation of the protein; the DNA-binding domain directly binds the HZA enhancer, which mediates transcriptional activation of multiple genes involved in zinc homeostasis.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00050830

Automated_descriptionEnables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in intracellular zinc ion homeostasis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (14)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
