Abstract excerpt
The zinc finger transcription factor Gfi1 (growth factor-independent-1) has been involved in various cellular differentiation processes. Gfi1 acts as a transcriptional repressor and splicing control factor upon binding to cognate binding sites in regulatory elements of its target genes. In this study, we report that Gfi1-deficient mice develop autoimmunity. Gfi1-deficient peripheral B cells show a...
