Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuronal stem cell population maintenance; positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation; and wing disc dorsal/ventral pattern formation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including chaeta; embryonic segment; germ layer; head epidermis primordium; and larval optic anlage. Used to study central nervous system cancer. Orthologous to human HES2 (hes family bHLH transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that E(spl) proteins m7 and mgamma are potent inhibitors of neural fate, even in the presence of excess Sc activity and even when their DNA-binding basic domain has been inactivated
Title: Two modes of recruitment of E(spl) repressors onto target genes.
the Sc C-terminal domain is required for E(spl) recruitment in an enhancer context-dependent fashion, suggesting that in some enhancers alternative interaction surfaces can be used to recruit E(spl) proteins
Title: Role of the Sc C terminus in transcriptional activation and E(spl) repressor recruitment.
