Abstract excerpt
The muscle-specific helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins myogenin, MyoD, myf5, and MRF4 form hetero-oligomers with ubiquitous HLH proteins encoded by the E2A gene and activate muscle transcription by binding to a DNA sequence known as an E-box (CANNTG). Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) can inhibit muscle differentiation by silencing the transcription-activating potential of myogenic HLH proteins without...
