LYL1 forms heterodimeric complexes with E2a proteins (E12 and E47) via their HLH motifs, and these endogenous LYL1-E2a complexes bind a preferred DNA sequence (5'-AACAGATG(T/g)T-3') distinct from the muE2 site recognized by E2a homodimers. |

LYL1 physically interacts with NF-κB1 p105 (the precursor of p50) via the bHLH motif of LYL1 and the ankyrin-like motifs of p105; ectopic LYL1 expression in T cells significantly reduces NF-κB-dependent transcription. |

Lyl1 promoter activity in hematopoietic progenitor and endothelial cells is driven by conserved binding sites occupied in vivo by GATA-2 and Ets factors (Fli1, Elf1, Erg, PU.1); despite co-regulation with Scl by the same factors, Lyl1 cannot rescue hematopoietic differentiation in Scl-/- ES cells. |
