Ikaros is an essential transcription factor for normal lymphocyte development. Because of its interaction with a number of closely related factors, Ikaros is required for correct regulation of differentiation and cell proliferation in T- and B-cell lineages. Interestingly, Ikaros appears to function both as a transcriptional repressor and as an activator through its ability to bind a large number of nuclear factors, including components of both histone deacetylase and ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes. In addition, nuclear localisation is important for Ikaros function--unlike most transcription factors, Ikaros is localised to discrete nuclear foci in lymphoid cells, suggesting it employs novel mechanisms to regulate transcription.
