ID:SALL1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Sal-like protein 1; AltName: Full=Spalt-like transcription factor 1; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein 794; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein SALL1; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein Spalt-1; Short=HSal1; Short=Sal-1; FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor involved in organogenesis (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with HDAC1, HDAC2, RBBP4, RBPP7, MTA1 and MTA2 (By similarity). Interacts with FAM58A. Probably associates with NuRD histone deacetylase complex (HDAC). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highest levels in kidney. Lower levels in adult brain (enriched in corpus callosum, lower expression in substantia nigra) and liver. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: In fetal brain exclusively in neurons of the subependymal region of hypothalamus lateral to the third ventricle. DISEASE: Defects in SALL1 are the cause of Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) [MIM:107480]. TBS is a rare, autosomal dominant malformation syndrome with a combination of imperforate anus, triphalangeal and supernumerary thumbs, malformed ears and sensorineural hearing loss. Note=Some individuals with SALL1 mutations manifest a phenotype overlapping with TBS and bronchio-oto-renal syndrome. Clinical features include dysplastic ears, hypoplastic kidneys with impaired renal function, gastroesophageal reflux, hypermetropia, hypospadias, and mild developmental delay. Affected individuals lack the characteristic anal or hand malformations of TBS. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sal C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. SIMILARITY: Contains 9 C2H2-type zinc fingers.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
