    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the development of hemangioblats from early mesoderm, expressed in stem cells and absolutely required, in association with LMO2, in the generation of cell hematopoietic lineages
  • having major functions during embryonic hematopoiesis and in adult erythropoiesis and megakaryocytopoiesis, a DNA-binding-dependent and -independent role in erythropoiesis
  • may play an important role in hemopoietic differentiation, regulating immature human hematopoietic cell self-renewal and that this regulation requires TAL1 DNA-binding activity
  • TAL1 transcription factor is essential for the development of the hematopoietic system and plays a role during definitive erythropoiesis in the adult
  • novel role for GATA4 and TAL1 to affect skeletal myogenic differentiation and EPO response via cross-talk with SIRT1
  • potential link between mechanisms driving TAL1 expression and increased EPO sensitivity in erythroid progenitor cells resulting in erythrocytosis
  • has a unique mechanotransductive role in the cardiomyocyte
  • likely has distinct roles in regulating the formation of endocardial intercellular junctions and maintaining endocardial identity
  • is located in the up-stream of MEK/ERK pathway and partially regulates hematopoiesis by modulating the phosphorylation level of the key proteins in MEK/ERK pathway
  • plays a critical role in chromatin loop formation between the gamma-globin genes and LCR, which is a critical step for the transcription of the gamma-globin genes
  • is a central transcription factor for hematopoietic stem cell development in the embryo and for gene regulation during erythroid/megakaryocytic differentiation
  • novel function of TAL1, RUNX1 and GATA1 in the transcriptional control of PRKACB activity, with implications for cellular signalling control during differentiation and disease

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • heterodimer with bHLH proteins
  • forms heterodimers with TCF3
  • part of the DNA-binding complex containing LMO2, LDB1, TAL1, and GATA1
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding specifically to E-box motif
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to DRG1
  • binds to the LIM domain containing protein Rhombotin-2
  • associates with many binding partners including E2A, GATA1, LMO2, LDB1, and ETO2, all of which are involved in modulating hematopoietic cell growth and differentiation
  • TAL1 expression activated UBE2H expression, whereas TAL1 knock-down reduced UBE2H expression and ubiquitin transfer activity
  • interacts with RUNX1 and ETS1, and these transcription factors are critically required for TAL1 binding to genes that modulate T-cell differentiation
  • interacting with TRIM33 (regulation of adult hematopoiesis through TRIM33-mediated transcriptional repression of TAL1 and SPI1 target genes)
  • interplay between PRKACA phosphorylation and TAL1-mediated epigenetic regulation that regulates hematopoietic transcription and differentiation programs during hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis
  • GATA1 coregulators ZFPM1 and TAL1 dissociate from mitotic chromatin, suggesting that GATA1 functions as platform for their postmitotic recruitment
  • forced TAL1 expression increases EPOR and erythropoietin hypersensitivity in erythroid progenitors
  • TAL1 associates with GATA1, GATA2, lim-only protein LMO2, and LDB1 in a multimeric complex to regulate erythroid transcription
  • TAL1 can recruit GATA1 and increase GATA1 binding to the EPOR promoter region to stimulate gene expression
  • GATA1-dependent looping mechanisms may facilitate the conservation of TAL1 regulation despite cis-regulatory remodeling during vertebrate evolution
  • GATA1 and TAL1 are bound to the regulatory regions of TFDP2 and upregulate its expression
  • TAL1 interacts with the peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4) and PADI4 acts as a coactivator of TAL1 by counteracting repressive histone arginine methylation
  • KLF1 plays a role in facilitating and/or stabilizing GATA1 and TAL1 occupancy in the erythroid genes, contributing to the generation of active chromatin structure such as histone acetylation and chromatin looping
  • in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) DDIT4 is a direct TAL1 target gene
  • link between TAL1 and the MTOR pathway in human early hematopoietic cells
  • TAL1 together with hematopoietic transcription factors RUNX1 and GATA1 binds to the promoter of the isoform 3 of PRKACB
