Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n EID2 is a member of the EID (E1A‐like inhibitor of differentiation) family that acts as an endogenous inhibitor of cellular differentiation by targeting key transcriptional pathways. Several independent studies have demonstrated that EID2 interferes with differentiation‐promoting signals in multiple cell types. For example, in muscle cells EID2 has been shown to inhibit MyoD‐dependent transcription and muscle differentiation by interacting with transcriptional co‐regulators. In some studies this inhibitory function was attributed to its association with class I histone deacetylases rather than by directly blocking the histone acetyltransferase activity of p300, whereas other work indicates that interference with p300 activity may also contribute to its function (see."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In addition, EID2 has been reported to repress TGF‑β signaling through binding to Smad proteins – particularly Smad3 – thereby preventing the formation of Smad3–Smad4 complexes and subsequent induction of downstream targets such as cell cycle inhibitors (for example, p21 and p15)."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Moreover, data collectively support a role for EID2 as a negative regulator of differentiation acting via modulation of epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Overall, EID2 functions as a molecular “brake” that can delay or inhibit differentiation by altering the activity of key transcription factors and their associated chromatin modifiers.\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Ann Båvner, Jason Matthews, Sabyasachi Sanyal, et al.
