    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in regulating limb development and specification of limb identity (especially in forelimb growth and patterning)
  • functional cooperation of TBX5 and MEF2C links MEF2C to the higher-order protein complex regulating heart development
  • regulates ventricular myocyte relaxation in a cell-autonomous manner by direct modulation of the expression of ATP2A2
  • acting as a regulator of apoptosis and cell growth
  • activating a cardiac-specific promoter (atrial natriuretic factor (NPPA) alone and synergistically with other transcription factors
  • playing an important role in modulating migration of vascular progenitor cells in the developing heart
  • having a function in pre-mRNA splicing, and this function is relevant to the pathogenesis of Holt-Oram syndrome
  • having a dual role in both transcriptional activation and pre-mRNA splicing
  • acts cooperatively with NKX2.5 to regulate the expression of SHOX2 and BMP4
  • TBX5 function is critical for the expression of SHOX2 in cardiac tissues
  • acts upstream of SHOX2, which, in turn, activates BMP4 in thei nflow trac of the heart
  • regulates transcriptional networks required for mature CCS (Cardiac conduction system) function
  • TBX4 and TBX5 play similar roles in the initiation of hindlimb and forelimb outgrowth, respectively
  • YAP1, CTNNB1 and TBX5 form a complex that regulates the expression of genes that promote survival, including BIRC5 and BCL2L1
  • TBX5 and TBX4, two genes expressed in forelimb and hindlimb-forming regions respectively, play crucial roles in the initiation of limb outgrowth
  • essential role for the T-box transcription factor gene TBX5 in sternum and forelimb formation and both structures share an embryological origin within the lateral plate mesoderm
  • crucial for proper cardiovascular development
  • TBX2, TBX3, TBX4, TBX5 and three members of TBX1 (TBX1, TBX15, TBX18), Brachyury (T) and Eomes (TBR2) are expressed in the developing limb

    a component
  • pairing with TBX3
  • can form a complex with splicing factor SFRS2 and plays an important role in constitutive pre-mRNA splicing, alternative splicing, and transcriptional activation
  • having a role in the development of the heart
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to both major and minor grooves of their DNA targets (T-box)
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to CSX (NKX2.5), lacking in Holt-Oram syndrome
  • binding to GATA4
  • co-expressed with TBX20 in the heart-forming region but then become differentially expressed as heart morphogenesis progresses
  • interacting with HEY2
  • interaction between TBX5 and MEF2C leading to a synergistic activation of the -cardiac myosin heavy chain (MYH6)
  • physically associates with MEF2C and cooperatively activates transcription from the MYH6 promoter
  • Myocardin and TBX5 physically interact and their interaction domains were mapped to the basic domain and the coil domain of myocardin and TBX5, respectively
  • direct molecular link between TBX5 and SCN5A, implicated in the function of the mature ventricular conduction system (VCS)
  • TBX4 and TBX5 interact with FGF10 during the process of lung growth and branching but not during tracheal/bronchial cartilage development
  • HDAC3 physically interacts with TBX5 and modulates its acetylation to repress TBX5-dependent activation of cardiomyocyte lineage-specific genes
  • FBXO25 directly interacts with TBX5 and NKX2-5, and controls TBX5 and NKX2-5 transcriptional activity to regulate cardiomyocyte development
  • while GATA4 and SMARCD3 are key inducers of myocardial differentiation, TBX5 is essential for the ability of cardiac cells to contract
  • TBX2, TBX3, TBX4, TBX5 and three members of TBX1 (TBX1, TBX15, TBX18), Brachyury (T) and Eomes (TBR2) are expressed in the developing limb
  • TBX4, TBX5 are both upstream regulators of FGF10 and RSPO2, which drive the outgrowth of all four limb buds
