HGNC name dachshund homolog (Drosophila)
HGNC id 2663
PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a Dachbox N (DD1) in the N terminus, and a conserved dachshund domain (DS), which interacts with the nuclear co-repressor (NCoR) to repress gene expression
  • an alpha helical coiled-coil zipper domain, beginning in dachbox C (DD2) in C terminal, showing similarity to the ski family of genes
  • secondary structure forms an alpha/beta structure containing a DNA-binding motif similar to that found in the winged helix/Forkhead subgroup of DNA-binding proteins
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to Drosophila dachshund
    homolog to murine INS and genital eminence
    homolog to murine Dach 1
    intraspecies homolog to two possible human DACH (Xq21 and 8p)

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in eye development
  • recruited in the context of local chromatin to conduct transcriptional regulatory functions
  • inhibit c-Jun transactivation through recruitment of HDAC1 and HDAC3 to the domain of c-Jun
  • cell fate determination factor that inhibits cyclin D1 and breast tumor growth
  • inhibits oncogene-induced breast cancer cellular migration and invasion through suppression of interleukin-8
  • plays an important role in negative regulation of TNFSF11 gene expression in marrow stromal/preosteoblast cells in the bone microenvironment
  • important role in tumorigenesis, in particular, breast, prostate and ovarian cancer
  • selectively inhibited FOXM1-mediated contact-independent growth and occupancy in the context of local chromatin
  • competes as a DNA binding–specific transcription factor to attenuate signaling by the Forkhead family of transcription factors
  • distinctive tumor suppressor, which does not only suppress growth of tumor cells but also regulates FGF2-mediated tumor-initiating activity of glioma cells
  • its expression repressed growth of glioma cells
  • regulates retinal cell fate determination
  • role of DACH1 as a cell cycle regulator in myeloid cells
  • having a role as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer by regulating cell cycle progression and stem cell reprogramming factors
  • opposite roles of DACH1 associated with the regulation of the cell cycle machinery and expression of reprogramming factors in myeloid cells
  • is a novel coactivator of HOXA9 and has an oncogenic effect in hematopoietic malignancy
  • key signaling pathway for kidney development
  • zona glomerulosa selective gene in the human adrenal, activating TGFB1 signaling and suppressing aldosterone secretion
  • DACH1-mediated corepression in hepatocytes emerges as an important link between obesity and insulin resistance
  • chromosome-associated protein that regulates cellular differentiation throughout development
  • potential role for DACH1 in the development of human chronic glomerulopathy
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    small molecule
    protein
  • with EYA1, mediated by CREBBP (regulating precursor cell proliferation and survival during organogenesis)
  • suppress tumor formation through transcriptional repression of FGF2
  • DACH1 has a stronger transcription-promoting activity with HOXA9 than does PBX2 with HOXA9
  • CEBPA and/or GATA1 directly suppress the expression of DACH1 through binding to the promoter region
  • DACH1 expression regulates the pancreatic cancer cell apoptosis through interacting with BCL2 signaling axis, whereas it controls cell migration and invasion via epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process
