Two interacting basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors control flowering time in rice
Plant Physiology, 2023Abstract Flowering time is one of the most important agronomic traits affecting the adaptation and yield of rice (Oryza sativa). Heading date 1 (Hd1) is a key factor in the photoperiodic control of flowering time. In this study, two basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, Hd1 Binding Protein 1 (HBP1) and Partner of HBP1 ...

Phylogenetic analyses of vector mosquito basic helix‐loop‐helix transcription factors
Insect Molecular Biology, 2013Abstract Basic helix‐loop‐helix ( bHLH ) transcription factors play critical roles in the regulation of a wide range of developmental processes in higher organisms and have been identified in more than 20 organisms. Mosquitoes are important vectors of certain human diseases.

Expression of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in explant hematopoietic progenitors
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1996The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors form heterodimers and control steps in cellular differentiation. We have studied four bHLH transcription factors, SCL, lyl-1, E12/E47, and ld-1, in individual lineage-defined progenitors and hematopoietic growth factor-dependent cell lines, evaluating mRNA expression and the effects of growth ...

The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor family in Bombyx mori
Development Genes and Evolution, 2007The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors that play important roles in a wide range of developmental processes in higher organisms. bHLH family members have been identified in a dozen of organisms including fruit fly, mouse and human.

Calcium/calmodulin inhibition of basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor domains
Nature, 1994The ubiquitous Ca(2+)-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) is a key protein in Ca2+ homeostasis and activation of eukaryotic cells. CaM is the molecular link between free Ca2+ in the cell and the inhibition, or activation, of numerous enzymes. Many nuclear functions are under Ca2+/CaM control, and some transcriptional activators are known to be Ca2 ...

Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Zebra Finch Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors
Biochemical Genetics, 2010The zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is an established organism for developmental, behavioral, and neurological research. In this study, we conducted a genomewide survey using the zebra finch genome project databases and identified 86 bHLH sequences in silico in the zebra finch genome.

Prg1 is regulated by the basic helix‐loop‐helix transcription factor Math2
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2008AbstractMath2 (NEX‐1/NeuroD6) is a member of the basic helix‐loop‐helix transcription factor family and is involved in neuronal differentiation and maturation. In this study, we identified the genes targeted by Math2 using DNA microarrays and cultured rat cortical cells transfected with Math2.

The basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor scleraxis regulates fibroblast collagen synthesis
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2009The transcription factor scleraxis has been implicated in regulating the development of collagen-rich tissues such as tendons and cardiac valves, but its role in general collagen synthesis in the heart is unknown. Scleraxis expression in cardiac fibroblasts was examined, and its ability to regulate gene expression of collagen I alpha 2, the predominant

em E2 em A basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in human leukemia
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003The gene E2A on chromosome 19 is involved in recurrent chromosomal rearrangements associated with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The resulting fusion of 5' E2A sequences with 3' portions of other genes leads to the expression of two well-characterized fusion proteins: E2A-PBX1 and E2A-HLF.
