Abstract
Inhibitors of DNA-binding proteins (Id1-4), lacking the basic DNA-binding domain, function as dominant inhibitors of cell-cycle regulators. Overexpression of Id proteins promotes cancer cell proliferation and resistance against apoptosis. Level of Id protein expression, especially of Id1, correlates...

Abstract
We showed that Id3(-/-) CD8(+) T cells had an innate-like phenotype and required SAP for their development. However, like conventional CD8(+) T cells, Id3(-/-) CD8(+) thymocytes were selected on TECs. The requirement for SAP and the innate-like phenotype was not intrinsic to Id3(-/-) CD8(+) thymocyt...

Abstract
We transfected siRNA into SCLC cell line GLC-19 and established two sublines (G-Id3-1 and G-Id3-7) which expressed only 30% of the level of Id3 measured in control transfectants. Suppression of Id3 expression in both G-Id3-1 and G-Id3-7 cells produced significant reductions in proliferation rates an...

Abstract
We recently reported that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) 2 and 4 can stimulate FSHbeta-subunit (Fshb) transcription alone and in synergy with activins. We further showed that BMP2 signals via the BMP type IA receptor (or activin receptor-like kinase 3) to mediate its effects. However, the intrac...

Abstract
We identified Id4 as a transcriptional target of the protein complex mutant p53/E2F1/p300 in breast cancer. Id4 protein binds, stabilizes and enhances the translation of mRNAs encoding proangiogenic cytokines, such as IL8 and GRO-alpha, increasing the angiogenic potential of cancer cells. We present...

Abstract
Inhibitors of DNA binding/inhibitors of differentiation (Id) protein family (Id-1, -2, -3 and -4) of helix-loop-helix proteins have been shown to be involved in carcinogenesis and are regarded as prognostic markers in several types of human cancers. However, the roles of Id proteins during breast ca...

Abstract
We identify ID4 as a transcriptional target of gain-of-function p53 mutants R175H, R273H and R280K. Depletion of mutant p53 protein severely impairs ID4 expression in proliferating tumor cells. The protein complex mutant p53-E2F1 assembles on specific regions of the ID4 promoter and positively contr...

ID4 gene had a type II promoter with a typical TATA box in upstream -45 bp of transcription start site. The 1300 bp-length promoter of ID4 gene contained a few cis-acting structures classified into two function types, i. e. positive regulatory type, including transcription factors Spl and c-Myb, cAM...

We demonstrate that E47 potentiates SREBP-1c-mediated adiponectin promoter activation and that Id3 can dose-dependently inhibit this action via interaction with E47. Mutation of a consensus E47 binding site results in nearly complete loss of promoter activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate E47 bindi...

Abstract
We report a pathogenetic role of the developmental regulator Id4 (inhibitor of differentiation 4) in GBM.
