    basic FUNCTION
  • participating to normal development of branchial arches, ear, kidney, directly in the modulation of cellular signaling through its phosphatase activity
  • playing a key role in the regulation of genes known to be important for sensory development
  • regulates SHH signaling in embryonic lung, thus ensuring the proper level of proliferation and differentiation along the proximodistal axis of epithelial, mesenchymal and endothelial cells
  • its function is critical for proper coordination of lung epithelial, mesenchymal and vascular development
  • functioning as a crucial regulator of the complex behavior of distal embryonic lung epithelium
  • EYA1 and SIX1 are key transcription factors in initiating the neuronal developmental program, probably by recruiting and interacting with the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex to specifically mediate NEUROG1 and NEUROD1 transcription
  • regulates tight junction formation in lung distal epithelium
  • is required for cell proliferation and survival during mammalian organogenesis
  • EYA1 enhanced cellular proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and induced contact-independent growth and CCND1 abundance
  • conserved critical regulator of organ-specific stem cells
  • functional link between EYA1, SIX2, and MYC in driving the expansion and maintenance of the multipotent progenitors during nephrogenesis
  • catalytically active phosphatase EYA1 cooperates with the DNA-binding protein SIX1 to promote gene induction in response to SHH and EYA1/SIX1 together regulate GLI transcriptional activators
  • EYA1 and SIX1 as key components of the SHH transcriptional network in normal development and in oncogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

  • interacting with Sox2
  • EYA1 phosphatase functions through PRKCZ-NOTCH1 signaling to control cell polarity in the lung epithelium
  • NR2F2 directly regulates the expression of both EYA1 and WT1 in the metanephric mesenchyme
  • anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-CDH1 specifically targets EYA1 for degradation during M-to-G(1) transition, failure of which may compromise cell proliferation and survival (
  • EYA1 phosphatase regulates cell-cycle control via transcriptional complex formation at the CCND1 promoter
  • EYA1 interacts with SIX2 and MYC to control self-renewing cell activity
