WD40 Region of Human Groucho/TLE1
Structural highlights
FunctionTLE1_HUMAN Transcriptional corepressor that binds to a number of transcription factors. Inhibits NF-kappa-B-regulated gene expression. Inhibits the transcriptional activation mediated by FOXA2, and by CTNNB1 and TCF family members in Wnt signaling. The effects of full-length TLE family members may be modulated by association with dominant-negative AES. Unusual function as coactivator for ESRRG.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedGroucho (Gro)/TLE proteins are transcriptional corepressors that lack inherent DNA binding but interact with DNA-bound transcription factors and histones, and recruit histone deacetylases. Groucho-mediated repression is essential in embryonic development and involved in regulation of Wnt signaling in adult tissue. We have determined the 1.6 A crystal structure of a C-terminal fragment of human Groucho/TLE1, comprising part of the Ser/Pro-rich region and a seven-bladed beta propeller WD40 repeat domain, implicated in protein-protein interactions. The structure confirms the relationship to the yeast Tup1 corepressor, but reveals important structural differences specific to the metazoan system. Analysis of missense mutations in the C. elegans Groucho homolog UNC-37 identifies sites of interaction with repression effectors, and suggests an induced fit binding site for eh1 domains of Engrailed-type transcription factors.
