A helix-loop-helix protein related to the immunoglobulin E box-binding proteins

Mol Cell Biol. 1990 Aug;10(8):4384-8. doi: 10.1128/mcb.10.8.4384-4388.1990.

Abstract

A human cDNA encoding a novel protein in the helix-loop-helix family has been isolated by screening a bacteriophage expression library with a probe containing the binding site for major late transcription factor. The protein encoded by this cDNA, TFEB, probably recognizes E-box sequences in the heavy-chain immunoglobulin enhancer.
