TIF1beta/KAP-1 is a coactivator of the orphan nuclear receptor NGFI-B/Nur77.

ABSTRACT: In efforts to define mechanisms of transcriptional activation by the orphan nuclear receptor NGFI-B (Nur77), we identified TIF1beta by mass spectrometry within a nuclear protein complex containing NGFI-B. TIF1beta, also known as KAP-1 (KRAB domain-associated protein) or KRIP-1, acts as a transcriptional corepressor for many transcription factors, in particular for the Krüppel-associated box domain-containing zinc finger transcription factors. TIF1beta is also an intrinsic component of two chromatin remodeling and histone deacetylase complexes, the N-CoR1 and nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation complexes. In contrast to these activities, we report that TIF1beta is a coactivator of NGFI-B and that it is as potent as the SRC coactivators in this context. Using pull-down assays and immunop
