ID (inhibitor of DNA binding) HLH proteins lack a basic DNA-binding domain but are able to form heterodimers with other HLH proteins, thereby inhibiting DNA binding. ID-2 may be an inhibitor of tissue-specific gene expression.

Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease and is characterized by progressive cyst formation and ultimate loss of renal function. Increased cell proliferation is a key feature of the disease. Here, we show that the ADPKD protein polycystin-2 (PC2) regulates the cell cycle through direct interaction with Id2, a member of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein family that is known to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Id2 expression suppresses the induction of a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21, by either polycystin-1 (PC1) or PC2. The PC2-Id2 interaction is regulated by PC1-dependent phosphorylation of PC2. Enhanced Id2 nuclear localization is seen in human and mouse cystic kidneys. Inhibition of Id2 expression by RNA interference corrects the hyperproliferative phenotype of PC1 mutant cells. We propose that Id2 has a crucial role in cell-cycle regulation that is mediated by PC1 and PC2.

Small heterodimer partner (SHP; NR0B2) is an atypical orphan nuclear receptor that lacks a conventional DNA binding domain (DBD) and represses the transcriptional activity of various nuclear receptors. In this study, we examined the novel cross talk between SHP and BETA2/NeuroD, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. In vitro and in vivo protein interaction studies showed that SHP physically interacts with BETA2/NeuroD, but not its heterodimer partner E47. Moreover, confocal microscopic study and immunostaining results demonstrated that SHP colocalized with BETA2 in islets of mouse pancreas. SHP inhibited BETA2/NeuroD-dependent transactivation of an E-box reporter, whereas SHP was unable to repress the E47-mediated transactivation and the E-box mutant reporter activity. In addition, SHP repressed the BETA2-dependent activity of glucokinase and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 gene promoters. Gel shift and in vitro protein competition assays indicated that SHP inhibits neither dimerization nor DNA binding of BETA2 and E47. Rather, SHP directly repressed BETA2 transcriptional activity and p300-enhanced BETA2/NeuroD transcriptional activity by inhibiting interaction between BETA2 and coactivator p300. We also showed that C-terminal repression domain within SHP is also required for BETA2 repression. However, inhibition of BETA2 activity was not observed by naturally occurring human SHP mutants that cannot interact with BETA2/NeuroD. Taken together, these results suggest that SHP acts as a novel corepressor for basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor BETA2/NeuroD by competing with coactivator p300 for binding to BETA2/NeuroD and by its direct transcriptional repression function.

The helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of transcriptional regulatory proteins are key regulators in numerous developmental processes. The class I HLH proteins, such as E12 are ubiquitously expressed. Class II HLH proteins, such as MyoD, are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Class I and II heterodimers can bind to E-boxes (CANNTG) and regulate lineage commitments of embryonic cells. In an attempt to identify partners for the E12 protein that may exert control during liver development, we performed the yeast 2-hybrid screen using an expression complementary DNA library from human fetal liver. A novel dominant inhibitory HLH factor, designated HHM (human homologue of maid), was isolated and characterized. HHM is structurally related to the Id family and was highly expressed in brain, pituitary gland, lung, heart, placenta, fetal liver, and bone marrow. HHM physically interacted with E12 in vitro and in mammalian cells. Comparison of the dominant inhibitory effects of HHM and Id2 on the binding of E12/MyoD dimer to an E-box element revealed a weaker inhibition by HHM. However, HHM but not Id2 specifically inhibited the luciferase gene activation induced by hepatic nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) promoter. The HHM was transiently expressed during stem-cell-driven regeneration of the liver at the stage in which the early basophilic foci of hepatocytes started to appear. These results suggest that HHM is a novel type of dominant inhibitory HLH protein that might modulate liver-specific gene expression.

The interaction of helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins is known to regulate the differentiation of several different tissues, including mammalian muscle and the insect peripheral nervous system. In myoblasts, the products of myogenic HLH genes such as MyoD and ubiquitous HLH proteins such as E12 are present at constant levels throughout development. An E12 monomer and a MyoD monomer form a DNA binding heterodimer that activates muscle-specific genes. These two proteins are unable to dimerize in proliferating myoblasts because a negative regulator HLH protein, Id, is present. We now report the sequence and structure of a human HLH gene related to Id, which has been designated Id-2. Two prominent Id-2 RNA molecules of 2.5 and 1.3 kilobases were found in a number of different human normal and neoplastic tissues. We believe the larger RNA is a precursor of the 1.3-kilobase mRNA that encodes an Id-2 protein of 134 amino acids. The HLH region of the Id-2 protein is 90% homologous to that of myogenic Id, but the homology is much less extensive outside the HLH region. The Id-2 gene is highly expressed during early fetal development in several tissues, including those of the central nervous system, but is not expressed in the corresponding mature tissues. Id-2 expression is modulated in association with retinoic acid-induced ganglionic differentiation of the neuroblastoma cell line SMS-KCNR. These findings suggest that Id-2 is an inhibitor of tissue-specific gene expression, although its distinctive pattern of expression during development suggests a role different from that of Id.

The orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP; NR0B2) is an unusual orphan nuclear receptor that lacks a conventional DNA-binding domain and acts as a modulator of transcriptional activities of a number of nuclear receptors. We have previously reported that the orphan nuclear receptor ERRgamma activates the SHP promoter. In this study, we have found that basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, the E2A proteins (E47, E12 and E2/5), activated the human but not the mouse SHP promoter. In contrast, the tissue-specific E47 heterodimer partner BETA2 repressed the E47- mediated transactivation of the human SHP (hSHP) promoter. Using serial deletions and E-box mutant constructs of the hSHP promoter, we identified two E-boxes (E6 and E7) as E47-responsive E-boxes, which are not conserved in the mouse SHP promoter. Moreover, gel shift, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and northern blot assays demonstrated that E47 directly binds to the hSHP promoter in vivo and in vitro and that Id proteins inhibited E47 binding to the hSHP promoter. Finally, we found that E47 and steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), a regulator of the SHP promoter, synergistically activate the human but not the mouse SHP promoter. Our findings suggest that the E2A proteins differentially regulate the human and mouse SHP promoters and cooperate with orphan nuclear receptor SF-1 for transcriptional activation of the hSHP promoter.

Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease and is characterized by progressive cyst formation and ultimate loss of renal function. Increased cell proliferation is a key feature of the disease. Here, we show that the ADPKD protein polycystin-2 (PC2) regulates the cell cycle through direct interaction with Id2, a member of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein family that is known to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Id2 expression suppresses the induction of a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21, by either polycystin-1 (PC1) or PC2. The PC2-Id2 interaction is regulated by PC1-dependent phosphorylation of PC2. Enhanced Id2 nuclear localization is seen in human and mouse cystic kidneys. Inhibition of Id2 expression by RNA interference corrects the hyperproliferative phenotype of PC1 mutant cells. We propose that Id2 has a crucial role in cell-cycle regulation that is mediated by PC1 and PC2.
