Wilms’ tumor (WT) is an embryonal malignancy of the kidney that affects 1 in 10,000 infants and is observed in both sporadic and inherited forms. The Wilms’ tumor protein (WT1) binds the DNA sequence GCGGGGGCG, a recognition element common to the early growth response (Egr) family of Zn2+ finger transcriptional activators, and functions as a transcriptional repressor. WTAP (Wilms tumor 1-associating protein) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that interacts with WT1 and may be involved in regulating mRNA splicing. WTAP is found in nuclear speckles where it regulates the G2/M cell cycle transition by binding to the 3’ UTR of cyclin A2, thus enhancing its stability. Additionally, WTAP inhibits expression of WT1 target genes and is able to impair the ability of WT1 to bind DNA. Two isoforms of WTAP exist due to alternative splicing events.
