text	colocolizing with RFP

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

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

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
