Ikaros is essential for the normal development
and regulated proliferation of lymphoid cells. In lymphocytes, Ikaros
exists as an integral component of chromatin-remodeling complexes,
including the Mi-2
/nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation complex
(NuRD) complex. It is expected that Ikaros, together with these
associated activities effects repression, but here we show that they
may also potentiate gene expression in cycling cells. Ikaros cannot activate transcription by itself; instead, it enhances the activity of
both weak and strong activators. For this role in potentiation, Ikaros
requires its DNA binding and dimerization domains. The DNA binding and
dimerization properties of Ikaros are also responsible for its
targeting to pericentromeric heterochromatin (PC-HC). Significantly,
Ikaros mutants with altered specificity for DNA binding that are unable
to localize to PC-HC are incapable of stimulating transcription from
reporters bearing their cognate sites. Thus, potentiation of gene
expression by Ikaros correlates strongly with its ability to localize
to PC-HC in combination with the chromatin remodeler
Mi-2
