Abstract excerpt
In B cell progenitors, E-proteins E2A and HEB (HeLa E-box binding protein) are crucial for the induction of a B lineage-specific program of gene expression and for orchestrating the assembly of the immunoglobulin loci. In the thymus E2A and HEB act differently, activating the expression of genes closely associated with the establishment of T cell identity and promoting the rearrangement of T cell receptor (TCR)...
