Disease relevance of LHX2

  • Transfection assay to the pituitary tumor derived LbetaT2 cells, and the Chinese hamster ovary cells demonstrated that CLIM2 acts as a corepressor of the porcine Lhx2 function [1].
  • Single light-harvesting complexes LH-2 from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila were immobilized on various charged surfaces under physiological conditions [2].
  • Recently, the structure of the nonameric LH-2 of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila has been determined; we report here the crystal structure of the octameric LH-2 from Rhodospirillum molischianum [3].
 

High impact information on LHX2

  • We found that the human protein LHX2 is able to regulate correctly ap target genes in the fly, causes the same phenotypes as Ap when ectopically produced, and most importantly rescues ap mutant phenotypes as efficiently as the fly protein [4].
  • In addition, these genes are expressed throughout the dorsal part of the spinal cord, in patterns different from those found for other genes, like LH-2 and wnt-1 [5].
  • A yeast two-hybrid screen identified the recently described melanocyte-specific gene-related gene 1 (MRG1) as an Lhx2 LIM-interacting protein [6].
  • Tissue-specific expression of the alpha-subunit gene of glycoprotein hormones involves an enhancer element designated the pituitary glycoprotein basal element, which interacts with the LIM homeodomain transcription factor, Lhx2 [6].
  • In addition, a synergistic response to Ras activation was observed when the Lhx2 LIM domain and the transactivation domain of Elk1 are directed to a minimal reporter gene [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of LHX2

 

Biological context of LHX2

 

Anatomical context of LHX2

  • In addition to finding hLH-2 expression in all cases of CML, expression was observed in lymphoid malignancies and myeloid cell lines, but not in primary cases of acute myelogenous leukaemia [10].
 

Associations of LHX2 with chemical compounds

  • Carotenoid stoichiometry in the LH2 crystal: no spectral evidence for the presence of the second molecule in the alpha/beta-apoprotein dimer [7].
