The Helix-Loop-Helix motif of human EIF3A regulates translation of proliferative cellular mRNAs [PDF]
Improper regulation of translation initiation, a vital checkpoint of protein synthesis in the cell, has been linked to a number of cancers. Overexpression of protein subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is associated with increased translation of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation.

A genome-wide identification of basic helix-loop-helix motifs in Pediculus humanus corporis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae). [PDF]
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins comprise a large superfamily of transcription factors, which are involved in the regulation of various developmental processes. bHLH family members are widely distributed in various eukaryotes including yeast, fruit fly, zebrafish, mouse, and human.

Regulation of TCF ETS-domain transcription factors by helix-loop-helix motifs [PDF]
DNA binding by the ternary complex factor (TCF) subfamily of ETS-domain transcription factors is tightly regulated by intramolecular and intermolecular interactions. The helix-loop-helix (HLH)-containing Id proteins are trans-acting negative regulators of DNA binding by the TCFs.

Characterization of a Putative Helix-Loop-Helix Motif in Nucleotide Excision Repair Endonuclease, XPG [PDF]
Complementation group G of xeroderma pigmentosum (XPG) is one of the most rare and pathophysiologically heterogeneous forms of this inherited disease. XPG patients exhibit varying phenotypes, from having a very mild defect in DNA repair to being severely affected, and a few cases are also associated with the neurological degeneracy and growth ...

Genome-wide analysis of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in papaya (Carica papaya L.) [PDF]
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) have been identified and functionally characterized in many plants. However, no comprehensive analysis of the bHLH family in papaya (Carica papaya L.) has been reported previously.

Gli3 utilizes Hand2 to synergistically regulate tissue-specific transcriptional networks
Despite a common understanding that Gli TFs are utilized to convey a Hh morphogen gradient, genetic analyses suggest craniofacial development does not completely fit this paradigm.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the Trihelix transcription factor family in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) during development [PDF]
Trihelix transcription factors (TF) are photoresponsive proteins featuring a characteristic three-helix structure (helix-loop-helix-loop-helix) and contain the Myb/SANT-LIKE (MSL) domain.

Characterization of a helix‐loop‐helix (EF hand) motif of silver hake parvalbumin isoform B [PDF]
AbstractParvalbumins are a class of calcium‐binding proteins characterized by the presence of several helix‐loop‐helix (EF‐hand) motifs. It is suspected that these proteins evolved via intragene duplication from a single EF‐hand. Silver hake parvalbumin (SHPV) consists of three EF‐type helix‐loop‐helix regions, two of which have the ability to bind ...
