The Amino-Terminal Enhancer of Split (AES), also known as TLE family member 5 (TLE5), is a protein that plays a crucial role in transcriptional repression. It is part of the Groucho/TLE family of proteins, which are known for their involvement in various developmental processes and cellular functions.
AES is a human full-length protein, consisting of 197 amino acids . It is expressed in Escherichia coli for recombinant purposes and has a purity of over 95%, making it suitable for various applications such as SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry . The protein is tagged with a His tag at the N-terminus to facilitate purification and detection .
AES functions as a transcriptional corepressor, meaning it can inhibit the expression of certain genes by binding to transcription factors and preventing them from activating target genes . It acts as a dominant repressor towards other family members and is known to inhibit NF-kappa-B-regulated gene expression . This inhibition is crucial for maintaining the differentiated state of cells and is essential for the transcriptional repressor activity of SIX3 during retina and lens development .
AES can function as a homooligomer or as a heterooligomer with other Groucho/TLE family members . By forming these complexes, AES can effectively repress the expression of target genes. The protein’s ability to interact with other family members allows it to exert a dominant-negative effect, thereby modulating the activity of other transcriptional repressors .
The role of AES in transcriptional repression and its involvement in developmental processes make it a protein of interest in various research fields. Its ability to inhibit NF-kappa-B-regulated gene expression suggests potential implications in inflammatory responses and cancer . Additionally, its essential role in retina and lens development highlights its importance in developmental biology .
