Abstract

Leucine Rich Repeat of Flightless-1 Interacting Protein 1/GC-binding factor 2 (LRRFIP1/GCF2) cDNA was cloned for a transcriptional repressor GCF2, which bound sequence-specifically to a GC-rich element of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene and repressed its promotor. LRRFIP1/GCF2 was also cloned as a double stranded RNA (dsRNA)-binding protein to trans-activation responsive region (TAR) RNA of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1), termed as TAR RNA interacting protein (TRIP), and as a binding protein to the Leucine Rich Repeat (LRR) of Flightless-1(Fli-1), termed as Flightless-1 LRR associated protein 1 (FLAP1) and LRR domain of Flightless-1 interacting Protein 1 (LRRFIP1). Subsequent functional studies have revealed that LRRFIP1/GCF2 played multiple roles in the regulation of diverse biological systems and processes, such as in immune response to microorganisms and auto-immunity, remodeling of cytoskeletal system, signal transduction pathways, and transcriptional regulations of genes. Dysregulations of LRRFIP1/GCF2 have been implicated in the causes of several experimental and clinico-pathological states and the responses to them, such as autoimmune diseases, excitotoxicity after stroke, thrombosis formation, inflammation and obesity, the wound healing process, and in cancers. LRRFIP1/GCF2 is a bioregulator in multidisciplinary systems of the human body and its dysregulation can cause diverse human diseases.
