Mutations in linker-2 of KLF1 impair expression of membrane transporters and cytoskeletal proteins causing hemolysis.

Abstract excerpt

The SP/KLF family of transcription factors harbour three C-terminal C2H2 zinc fingers interspersed by two linkers which confers DNA-binding to a 9-10 bp motif. Mutations in KLF1, the founding member of the family, are common. Missense mutations in linker two result in a mild phenotype. However, when co-inherited with loss-of-function mutations, they result in severe non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. We generate a...
