    basic FUNCTION
  • both repressive and transactivating transcriptional activities
  • plays a role in the initiation of skeletal muscle differentiation, and its interaction with HOPX is required for the full activity (Kee 2007)
  • recruits both serum response factor (SRF) and EP300 to induce skeletal muscle differentiation (Kim 2009)
  • required for skeletal muscle differentiation by recruiting both SRF and EP300 to the serum response element of muscle-specific gene promoters (Kim 2009)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • complexing with E2F6 (E2F6-EPC1 complex) (E2F6-EPC1 interacts with EZH2 and may regulate genes required for cell cycle progression) (Attwooll 2005)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • coiled-coil domain of RFP
  • complex (E2F6-EPC1) interacts with EZH2 and may regulate genes required for cell cycle progression
  • interacted physically with SRF
  • directly bound to EP300 in myoblast cells (Kim 2009)
