A Partnership Between the Dioxin Receptor and a Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein

Science, 1991
The dioxin receptor is the focus of current controversy regarding safe exposure levels for dioxin. Although the mechanisms are unclear, many of the toxic effects of dioxin have been linked to its receptor, leading to suggestions that most if not all of the toxic and carcinogenic effects of dioxin may be mediated by the dioxin receptor.

Conversion of Xenopus Ectoderm into Neurons by NeuroD, a Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein

Science, 1995
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are instrumental in determining cell type during development. A bHLH protein, termed NeuroD, for neurogenic differentiation, has now been identified as a differentiation factor for neurogenesis because (i) it is expressed transiently in a subset of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems

Expression of basic helix-loop-helix proteins in the glomeruli.

Clinical nephrology, 2001
Basic helix loop helix (bHLH) proteins play a critical role in the differentiation of not only striated muscle cells but also adipocytes, neuron cells and smooth muscle cells. Previous studies have established in vitro mouse mesangial cells (MCs) to maintain the differentiated smooth muscle phenotype.The purpose of the present study was to clone bHLH ...

The basic-helix-loop-helix protein Pod1 is critically important for kidney and lung organogenesis

Development, 1999
Abstract Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are required for the development of all solid organs but few molecular mechanisms that underlie these interactions have been identified. Pod1 is a basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that is highly expressed in the mesenchyme of developing organs that include the lung, kidney ...

Determination of the MYB Motif Interacting with WD40 and Basic Helix Loop Helix Proteins

Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry, 2012
Plant MYB transcription factors regulate secondary metabolism, cellular morphogenesis, and plant hormone signaling pathway. MYB proteins in plants consist of two repeats of 50 amino acid residues, which are referred to as R2R3 and they interact with WD40 or basic helix loop helix (bHLH) proteins.

Molecular Cloning of a Novel Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein from the Rat Brain

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1996
In the mammalian nervous system, several basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins have been identified that may play essential roles in neurogenesis or neural development. This paper describes a novel bHLH protein in rat brain, which has a bHLH domain highly homologous with that of MATH-2 and NeuroD.

Expression and significance of TWIST basic helix-loop-helix protein over-expression in gastric cancer

Pathology, 2007
TWIST protein has been implicated in neoplastic transformation and development of some cancers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression of TWIST in gastric cancer and its clinical significance.A total of 76 cases of archival gastric cancer tissues were immunohistochemically evaluated for TWIST expression, and its expression was correlated

Scleraxis: a basic helix-loop-helix protein that prefigures skeletal formation during mouse embryogenesis

Development, 1995
ABSTRACT Members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors have been shown to regulate growth and differentiation of numerous cell types. Cell-typespecific bHLH proteins typically form heterodimers with ubiquitous bHLH proteins, such as E12, and bind a DNA consensus sequence known as an E-box. We used the yeast

Submergence-inducible and circadian rhythmic basic helix–loop–helix protein gene in Nicotiana tabacum

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2009
Submergence stress leads to diverse changes in transcription and translation of genes involved in developmental and physiological metabolisms of plants. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein family is one of the largest transcriptional factor families in plants, and has been shown to play pivotal roles in diverse biological responses.
