Disease:A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of a form of B-cell leukemia. Translocation t (3;11) (q27;q23) with POU2AF1/OBF1. ,Disease:A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of lymphoma. Translocation t (3;4) (q27;p11) with ARHH/TTF. ,Disease:Chromosomal aberrations involving BCL6 may be a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Translocation t (3;14) (q27;q32) ; translocation t (3;22) (q27;q11) with immunoglobulin gene regions. ,Function:Transcriptional repressor which is required for germinal center formation and antibody affinity maturation. Probably plays an important role in lymphomagenesis. ,induction:Down-regulated during maturation of dendritic cells by selective stimuli such as LPS , CD40L and zymosan. ,PTM:Phosphorylated by MAPK1 in response to antigen receptor activation. Phosphorylation induces its degradation by ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. ,similarity:Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. ,similarity:Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers. ,subunit:Interacts with ZBTB7 and BCL6B (By similarity) . Interacts with the catalytic domain of HDAC9. ,tissue specificity:Expressed in germinal center T and B cells and in primary immature dendritic cells. ,
