HES6

Transcription cofactor HES-6 ;
C-HAIRY1 ;
Class B basic helix-loop-helix protein 41 ;
bHLHb41 ;
Hairy and enhancer of split 6 ;

domain:Has a particular type of basic domain (presence of a helix-interrupting proline) that binds to the N-box (CACNAG), rather than the canonical E-box (CANNTG).,domain:The C-terminal WRPW motif is a transcriptional repression domain necessary for the interaction with Groucho/TLE family members, transcriptional corepressors recruited to specific target DNA by Hairy-related proteins.,function:Does not bind DNA itself but suppresses both HES1-mediated N box-dependent transcriptional repression and binding of HES1 to E box sequences. Also suppresses HES1-mediated inhibition of the heterodimer formed by ASCL1/MASH1 and TCF3/E47, allowing ASCL1 and TCF3 to up-regulate transcription in its presence. Promotes cell differentation.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Orange domain.,subunit:Transcription repression requires formation of a complex with a corepressor protein of the Groucho/TLE family. Interacts with HES1.,
