B-cell- and myocyte-specific E2-box-binding factors contain E12/E47-like subunits.
Recent studies have identified a family of DNA-binding proteins that share a common DNA-binding and dimerization domain with the potential to form a helix-loop-helix (HLH) structure. Various HLH proteins can form heterodimers that bind to a common DNA sequence, termed the E2-box. We demonstrate here that E2-box-binding B-cell- and myocyte-specific nuclear factors contain subunits which are iden...
متن کاملDistinct roles for E12 and E47 in B cell specification and the sequential rearrangement of immunoglobulin light chain loci
The E2A gene products, E12 and E47, are critical regulators of B cell development. However, it remains elusive whether E12 and E47 have overlapping and/or distinct functions during B lymphopoiesis. We have generated mice deficient for either E12 or E47 and examined their roles in B cell maturation. We show that E47 is essential for developmental progression at the prepro-B cell stage, whereas E...
متن کاملIRF8 regulates B-cell lineage specification, commitment, and differentiation.
PU.1, IKAROS, E2A, EBF, and PAX5 comprise a transcriptional network that orchestrates B-cell lineage specification, commitment, and differentiation. Here we identify interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) as another component of this complex, and show that it also modulates lineage choice by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). IRF8 binds directly to an IRF8/Ets consensus sequence located in promote...
متن کاملCharacterisation of E12/E47 expression in colorectal cancer
Background In the Western world colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality, and the second most common cancer in women and the third in men. Identification of prognostic markers capable of predicting patient response to chemotherapy is essential to determine more personalised and efficient treatment strategies in colorectal cancer, and may help identify novel the...
متن کاملT cell lineage commitment: identity and renunciation.
Precursors undertaking T cell development shed their access to other pathways in a sequential process that begins before entry into the thymus and continues through many cell cycles afterward. This process involves three levels of regulatory change, in which the cells' intrinsic transcriptional regulatory factors, expression of signaling receptors (e.g., Notch1), and expression of distinct homi...
