Table 2 CTCF-binding partners

From: CTCF as a multifunctional protein in genome regulation and gene expression

Binding proteins

Description

Reference

LS Pol II

The largest subunit of RNA polymerase II is highly co-localized with CTCF in the nucleus and interacts with CTCF both in vitro and in vivo

46

Vigilin

Vigilin is a recently identified protein partner of CTCF that binds a number of known CTCF-target sites, and the CTCF–vigilin complex regulates Igf2/H19 expression

47

Kaiso

The transcription factor Kaiso localizes to the nucleus and, like CTCF, is ubiquitously expressed. Its POZ domain interacts with CTCF and negatively regulates CTCF’s insulator activity
