ID helix-loop-helix proteins

The helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of transcription factors comprises >200 members, which have been identified in organisms from yeast to man (reviewed in Littlewood and Evan, 1995; Massari and Murre, 2000). In metazoa, HLH proteins function in the coordinate regulation of gene expression, orchestrating cell cycle control, cell lineage commitment and cell differentiation. An essential role has b...

An Arabidopsis basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper protein modulates metal homeostasis and auxin conjugate responsiveness.

The plant hormone auxin can be regulated by formation and hydrolysis of amide-linked indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) conjugates. Here, we report the characterization of the dominant Arabidopsis iaa-leucine resistant3 (ilr3-1) mutant, which has reduced sensitivity to IAA-Leu and IAA-Phe, while retaining wild-type responses to free IAA. The gene defective in ilr3-1 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix leu...

The leucine zipper of TFE3 dictates helix-loop-helix dimerization specificity.

TFE3 is a DNA-binding protein that activates transcription through the muE3 site of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain enhancer. Its amino acid sequence reveals two putative protein dimerization motifs: a helix-loop-helix (HLH) and an adjacent leucine zipper. We show here that both of these motifs are necessary for TFE3 to homodimerize and to bind DNA in vitro. Using a dominant negative TFE3 mutant...

The basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor Mitf is conserved in Drosophila and functions in eye development.

The MITF protein is a member of the MYC family of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-Zip) transcription factors and is most closely related to the TFE3, TFEC, and TFEB proteins. In the mouse, MITF is required for the development of several different cell types, including the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells of the eye. In Mitf mutant mice, the presumptive RPE cells hyperprolifera...

Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Factors in Cortical Development

Transcription factors with bHLH motifs modulate critical events in the development of the mammalian neocortex. Multipotent cortical progenitors are maintained in a proliferative state by bHLH factors from the Id and Hes families. The transition from proliferation to neurogenesis involves a coordinate increase in the activity of proneural bHLH factors (Mash1, Neurogenin1, and Neurogenin2) and a ...
