**Background of CTCFL Recombinant Protein**
CTCFL (CCCTC-binding factor-like), also known as BORIS (Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites), is a paralog of the chromatin organizer protein CTCF. Discovered in 2002. CTCFL shares structural homology with CTCF, particularly in its zinc-finger DNA-binding domain, but exhibits distinct expression patterns and functional roles. While CTCF is ubiquitously expressed and regulates genomic imprinting, chromatin insulation, and 3D genome architecture, CTCFL expression is largely restricted to germ cells and certain cancers, linking it to developmental and oncogenic processes.
CTCFL is implicated in epigenetic reprogramming, particularly during spermatogenesis, where it may transiently replace CTCF to reset parental genomic imprints. In cancer, aberrant CTCFL activation is associated with tumorigenesis, often correlating with hypomethylation, reactivation of cancer-testis antigens, and dysregulation of oncogenic pathways. Its ability to bind CTCF target sites and recruit alternative chromatin modifiers suggests a role in altering transcriptional programs that drive malignancy.
Recombinant CTCFL protein, produced via *in vitro* expression systems (e.g., *E. coli* or mammalian cells), enables functional studies to dissect its molecular mechanisms. Researchers utilize it to investigate DNA-binding specificity, interactions with epigenetic regulators (e.g., polycomb proteins), and its impact on gene expression or chromatin dynamics. Additionally, recombinant CTCFL serves as a tool for developing diagnostic or therapeutic strategies targeting CTCFL-expressing cancers.
Despite progress, key questions remain about CTCFL's regulation, its interplay with CTCF, and its precise contributions to epigenetic instability in disease. Studying recombinant CTCFL provides critical insights into these areas, offering potential for novel cancer biomarkers or therapies addressing epigenetic dysregulation.
