ADP ribosylation by PARP-1 suppresses HOXB7 transcriptional activity. [PDF]
Interactions with cofactors regulate transcriptional activity and also help HOX proteins to achieve the specificity required for transcriptional regulation of target genes. In this study, we describe a novel protein/protein interaction of HOXB7 with poly

NK-like homeodomain proteins activate NOTCH3-signaling in leukemic T-cells
Background Homeodomain proteins control fundamental cellular processes in development and in cancer if deregulated. Three members of the NK-like subfamily of homeobox genes (NKLs), TLX1, TLX3 and NKX2-5, are implicated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic ...

HIPK2 and extrachromosomal histone H2B are separately recruited by Aurora-B for cytokinesis [PDF]
Cytokinesis, the final phase of cell division, is necessary to form two distinct daughter cells with correct distribution of genomic and cytoplasmic materials.

Ancient mechanisms for the evolution of the bicoid homeodomain's function in fly development
The ancient mechanisms that caused developmental gene regulatory networks to diversify among distantly related taxa are not well understood. Here we use ancestral protein reconstruction, biochemical experiments, and developmental assays of transgenic ...

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of adipogenesis
The main components of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and arterial hypertension. Obesity is the cause of metabolic syndrome, mainly as a consequence of the endocrine function of adipose tissue.

Improving Hox protein classification across the major model organisms.
The family of Hox-proteins has been a major focus of research for over 30 years. Hox-proteins are crucial to the correct development of bilateral organisms, however, some uncertainty remains as to which Hox-proteins are functionally equivalent across ...

Proximity labeling identifies a repertoire of site-specific R-loop modulators
R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that contribute to genome instability and accumulate in neurological diseases. Here the authors identify R-loop proximal factors, which are enriched for zinc finger and homeodomain proteins, including ...

The T-cell oncogenic protein HOX11 activates Aldh1 expression in NIH 3T3 cells but represses its expression in mouse spleen development [PDF]
Hox11 is a homeobox gene essential for spleen formation in mice, since atrophy of the anlage of a developing spleen occurs in early embryonic development in Hox11 null mice.

Functional Interaction of Jun and Homeodomain Proteins [PDF]
We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to identify proteins that interact with the N-terminal region of c-Jun, which is known to be involved in regulatory interactions. One of the proteins identified is the homeodomain-containing protein Hex. The Hex homeodomain is sufficient for interaction; moreover, the homeodomains of several other transcription ...
