Identification of an aqueous glue protein, SCP-2, and the development of a polyclonal antiserum against the bHLH transcription factor SGSF in Latrodectus Hesperus
… to advance our understanding regarding silk gene transcription, our lab has developed the first antibody against the bHLH factor SGSF. SGSF has been implicated as a potential transcriptional regulator of silk gene transcription in spiders. Development of the anti-SGSF antibody was accomplished via …

Covalent modification and intrinsic disorder in the stability of the proneural protein Neurogenin 2
Neurogenin 2 (Ngn2) is a basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor regulating differentiation and cell cycle exit in the developing brain. By transcriptional upregulation of a cascade of other bHLH factors, neural progenitor cells exit the cell cycle and differentiate towards a neuronal …

Transcriptional Regulation of Adult Neurogenesis by NRSF/REST and NeuroD1
… many external stimuli. Two critical regulatory factors in this process are NRSF/REST and NeuroD1. NRSF/REST, a transcriptional repressor that binds a specific NRSE site and recruits corepressors and chromatin remodeling machinery to repress its target genes, is critical for maintenance of the …

Characterization of ABF-1 in C. elegans and regulation of cellular growth and ID3 by human ABF-1
<p>ABF -1 is a human class II bHLH transcription factor that is expressed predominantly in activated B cells and EBV immortalized cell lines. A portion of this study sought to characterize the homolog of ABF- l in Caenorhabditis e/egans. The nematode gene product, ceABF -1, is capable of forming …

Control of Cardiac and Limb Development by the bHLH Transcription Factors DHAND and eHAND
Members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family regulate the specification and differentiation of multiple cell lineages during embryonic development. The bHLH proteins dHAND and eHAND are expressed in complimentary and overlapping patterns during embryogenesis, and gene …

Analysis of ASCL1 in Neuroendocrine Lung Cancer
… have determined that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor achaete-scute homolog 1 (ASCL1) is essential for the survival and progression of many pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) cancer cells, which include both SCLC and some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To understand how ASCL1 …

Mapping of the repression domain and the subcellular localization of the ABF-1 protein
<p>Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors play important roles in pathways that result in the formation of such tissues as skeletal muscle, the nervous system, pancreas and heart. A recently discovered B-cell restricted bHLH transcription factor activated Bcell factor 1 (ABF -1) is suspected …

Roles of Neurogenin and Geminin in Vertebrate Neurogensis
… neurogenesis Proneural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors regulate cell fate commitment and differentiation in neurogenesis. However, their proneural functions are not well understood, in part due to a lack of information about their target genes. Here, we identified direct …

The characterization of the ABF-1 promoter
<p>The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family oftranscription factors consists of proteins involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation. The HLH structure plays a key role in protein-protein dimerization and with the DNA target sites, referred to as E boxes containing the consensus DNA …

A Map of Transcription Factor Expression in Neuronal Precursors of the Chicken and Mouse Embryonic Cerebellum
… of various members of the TALE, LIM and bHLH transcription factor families in the avian and murine cerebellar anlagen. We show here that the combinatorial expression of transcription factors Irx3, Meis1, Meis2, and Lhx2/9 defines neurons of the CN, and that the combinatorial expression of …

TCF4 Is a Key Mediator of Cell Identity and Oncogenesis in Neuroblastoma
… (MES) cell state. Super-enhancer-associated transcription factor (TF) networks define cell identities in neuroblastoma (NB). Dysregulation of these TFs contributes to the initiation and maintenance of NB by enforcing early developmental identity states. We report the bHLH transcription factor …

Early land plant origins of the MYB-bHLH-WDR complex
… types in the seed plant epidermis. Tripartite transcriptional complexes composed of a MYB transcription factor, a bHLH transcription factor and a WD repeat scaffold (MYB-bHLH-WDR or MBW complexes) regulate patterns of flavonoid pigments, trichomes and root hairs in this cell layer. We reasoned …

RBP-L and RBP-J Have Critical Roles in the Functioning of Two Forms of the Pancreas Transcription Factor Complex PTF1
… regulated by a complex network of signaling and transcription factor pathways. P48 is a tissue-specific basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, which is essential for pancreas development and function. Mice lacking both p48 alleles lack an exocrine pancreas and have a greatly reduced …
