Description: Homo sapiens B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6), transcript variant 2, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001130845): The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor and contains an N-terminal POZ domain. This protein acts as a sequence-specific repressor of transcription, and has been shown to modulate the transcription of STAT-dependent IL-4 responses of B cells. This protein can interact with a variety of POZ-containing proteins that function as transcription corepressors. This gene is found to be frequently translocated and hypermutated in diffuse large-cell lymphoma (DLCL), and may be involved in the pathogenesis of DLCL. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015].

ID:BCL6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=B-cell lymphoma 6 protein; Short=BCL-6; AltName: Full=B-cell lymphoma 5 protein; Short=BCL-5; AltName: Full=Protein LAZ-3; AltName: Full=Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 27; AltName: Full=Zinc finger protein 51; FUNCTION: Transcriptional repressor which is required for germinal center formation and antibody affinity maturation. Probably plays an important role in lymphomagenesis. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts (via BTB domain) with BCOR; the interaction is direct. Interacts (via BTB domain) with NCOR2; the interaction is direct. Interacts with ZBTB7 and BCL6B (By similarity). Interacts with the catalytic domain of HDAC9. INTERACTION: P56524:HDAC4; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-765407, EBI-308629; Q9UKV0:HDAC9; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-765407, EBI-765444; Q9ULU4:ZMYND8; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-765407, EBI-765834; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in germinal center T and B-cells and in primary immature dendritic cells. INDUCTION: Down-regulated during maturation of dendritic cells by selective stimuli such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), CD40LG and zymosan. DOMAIN: The BTB domain mediates homodimerization. Its dimer interface mediates peptide binding such as to corepressors BCOR and NCOR2. PTM: Phosphorylated by MAPK1 in response to antigen receptor activation at Ser-333 and Ser-343. Phosphorylation induces its degradation by ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. PTM: Polyubiquitinated. Polyubiquitination leads to degradation by the proteasome. DISEASE: Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving BCL6 may be a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Translocation t(3;14)(q27;q32); translocation t(3;22)(q27;q11) with immunoglobulin gene regions. DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of a form of B-cell leukemia. Translocation t(3;11)(q27;q23) with POU2AF1/OBF1. DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of lymphoma. Translocation t(3;4)(q27;p11) with ARHH/TTF. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology; URL="http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/BCL6ID20.html";

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
