61-136 1.37e-06

basic Helix Loop Helix (bHLH) domain superfamily; bHLH proteins are transcriptional regulators that are found in organisms from yeast to humans. Members of the bHLH superfamily have two highly conserved and functionally distinct regions. The basic part is at the amino end of the bHLH that may bind DNA to a consensus hexanucleotide sequence known as the E box (CANNTG). Different families of bHLH proteins recognize different E-box consensus sequences. At the carboxyl-terminal end of the region is the HLH region that interacts with other proteins to form homo- and heterodimers. bHLH proteins function as a diverse set of regulatory factors because they recognize different DNA sequences and dimerize with different proteins. The bHLH proteins can be divided to cell-type specific and widely expressed proteins. The cell-type specific members of bHLH superfamily are involved in cell-fate determination and act in neurogenesis, cardiogenesis, myogenesis, and hematopoiesis.

65-121 4.62e-03

basic Helix-Loop-Helix-zipper (bHLHzip) domain found in USF/MITF family; The USF (upstream stimulatory factor)/MITF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) family includes two bHLHzip transcription factor subfamilies. USFs are ubiquitously expressed and key regulators of a wide number of gene regulation networks, including the stress and immune responses, cell cycle and proliferation, lipid and glucid metabolism. USFs recruit chromatin remodeling enzymes and interact with co-activators and the members of the transcription pre-initiation complex. USFs interact with high affinity to E-box regulatory elements. The MITF (also known as microphthalmia-TFE, or MiT) subfamily comprises four genes in mammals (MITF, TFE3, TFEB, and TFEC); each gene has different functions. MITF is involved in neural crest melanocytes development as well as the pigmented retinal epithelium. TFEB is required for vascularization of the mouse placenta. TFE3 is involved in B cell function. TFEC regulates gene expression in macrophages. The MITF subfamily proteins can form homodimers or heterodimers with each other but not with other bHLH or bHLHzip proteins.
