In erythroid cells, LMO2 (RBTN2) acts as an obligatory bridging molecule assembling a novel oligomeric DNA-binding complex comprising TAL1, E2A (E47), GATA-1, and LDB1/NLI. This pentameric complex binds a bipartite DNA motif consisting of an E-box (CAGGTG) followed ~9 bp downstream by a GATA site, and functions as a transcriptional transactivating complex. |

TAL1 polypeptides do not have intrinsic DNA-binding activity and cannot form homodimers. Instead, TAL1 heterodimerizes with class A bHLH proteins (E12, E47, E2-2, HEB) to form heterodimers that bind DNA with preference for a subset of E-box elements represented by the consensus AACAGATGGT. Endogenous TAL1 heterodimers with DNA-binding activity were detected in Jurkat leukemic cell nuclear extracts. |

TAL1 and E2A polypeptides form complexes in vivo in leukemic T cells (Jurkat). The bHLH domain of TAL1 selectively interacts with bHLH domains of E12 and E47 but not Id1. TAL1 does not self-associate to form homodimers, indicating that its in vivo functions depend on obligate heterologous interaction with E2A proteins. |

TAL1 can both repress and activate transcription depending on cellular context. In cells permitting E47 homodimer formation, TAL1 represses transcription by sequestering E47 into TAL1-E47 heterodimers with lower transcriptional activity than E47-E47 homodimers. However, TAL1-E47 heterodimers are more resistant to negative regulation by Id proteins, allowing TAL1 to activate transcription in other settings. |
