14-3-3 proteins regulate numerous cellular processes through interaction with a variety of proteins, and have been identified as HNF1α binding partner by mass spectrometry analysis in our previous study. In the present study, the interaction between 14-3-3ζ and HNF1α has been further validated by in vivo and in vitro assays. Moreover, we have found that overexpression of 14-3-3ζ potentiated the transcriptional activity of HNF1α in cultured cells, and silencing of 14-3-3ζ by RNA interference in HepG2 cells specifically affected the HNF1α-dependent gene expression. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that 14-3-3ζ is recruited to endogenous HNF1α responsive promoters and enhances HNF1α binding to its cognate DNA sequences. In addition, we have also provided evidence that the association between HNF1α and 14-3-3ζ is phosphorylation-dependent. Taken together, these results suggest that 14-3-3ζ may be an endogenous physiologic regulator of HNF1α.

Scansite searches for motifs within proteins that are likely to be phosphorylated by specific protein kinases or bind to domains such as SH2 domains, 14-3-3 domains or PDZ domains. The Motifscanner program utilizes an entropy approach that assesses the probability of a site matching the motif using the selectivity values and sums the logs of the probability values for each amino acid in the candidate sequence. The program then indicates the percentile ranking of the candidate motif in respect to all potential motifs in proteins of a protein database. When available, percentile scores of some confirmed phosphorylation sites for the kinase of interests or confirmed binding sites of the domain of interest are provided for comparison with the scores of the candidate motifs.
