ZNF385A (HZF) forms a complex with TP53 (p53), interacting with the DNA binding domain of TP53. The complex of TP53 and ZNF385A associates with p53 response elements of cell cycle arrest genes, such as CDKN1A (p21) and stimulates their transcription. Under prolonged stress, ZNF385A undergoes ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation, which coincides with expression of TP53-regulated pro-apoptotic genes (Das et al. 2007).
