Gene Description

BHLHE40 (DEC1/STRA13/SHARP2) is a class E basic helix-loop-helix-Orange transcription factor of the HES-related family that acts predominantly as a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor in the nucleus. It binds class B CACGTG E-boxes as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with its paralog BHLHE41/DEC2, and represses RNA polymerase II target genes by competing with activators such as CLOCK-BMAL1 and by HDAC1-dependent and -independent mechanisms. It is a clock-controlled gene and an auxiliary component of the circadian clock: it represses PER1, DBP, BHLHE41 and its own promoter, and tunes the phase and robustness of E-box-driven clock gene expression. It also acts as a corepressor of RXR and RXR heterodimers through an LXXLL motif, and interacts with p53. BHLHE40 is strongly induced by hypoxia (a direct HIF-1 target) and by retinoic acid, serum deprivation, DNA damage and immune activation. In immune cells it controls cytokine programmes, promoting GM-CSF and repressing IL-10 in T cells and myeloid cells. In tissue-resident macrophages it supports self-renewal and proliferation by repressing c-Maf/MafB. Its activity and stability are modulated by SUMOylation and ubiquitin-proteasome turnover.

GO:0000122 negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA: BHLHE40 inherits repression of RNA polymerase II transcription from the HES/HEY/DEC bHLH-Orange repressor clade.
Reason: Repression of Pol II target promoters (PER1, DEC2/BHLHE41, DBP, its own promoter, NR0B2, ATP1B1) through CACGTG E-boxes is the best-documented activity of BHLHE40, and the PAINT node placement across the bHLH-Orange repressor family is consistent with the experimental data on the human protein itself.

Summary: TFClass-based ISA assignment of chromatin location for a sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor.
Reason: BHLHE40 occupies E-box elements of target promoters in chromatin, shown by ChIP for SHP/NR0B2, ATP1B1 and clock genes, so chromatin is a correct location for its repressor activity.

Summary: Cho et al. 2009: DEC1 represses RXR/LXR target gene induction and associates with an LXR target promoter.
Reason: The main mechanism in this paper is corepression of RXR through an LXXLL motif, which is better captured by transcription corepressor activity (added as NEW). The curator, who had the full text, also recorded promoter association, and the DNA-binding repressor activity is in any case well established by other papers, so the row is kept.

Summary: Ivanova et al. 2001: yeast two-hybrid and cell-based interaction of STRA13 with UBC9 (UBE2I).
Reason: The interaction concerns the turnover of BHLHE40 itself (UBC9-promoted ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation), i.e. BHLHE40 as a substrate rather than a function it performs. No more informative MF term is warranted, and bare protein binding is uninformative.

GO:0009952 anterior/posterior pattern specification

GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IBA anterior/posterior pattern specification propagated from the HES subfamily node (PTN000105428), seeded by segmentation-clock genes such as Hes7/her genes.
Reason: Anterior/posterior patterning is a HES/HER segmentation-clock function. There is no experimental evidence that BHLHE40 (DEC subfamily, no WRPW motif) acts in somitogenesis or axial patterning, and Stra13/Bhlhe40-null mice are viable and are studied mainly for adult immune and clock phenotypes. The deep node placement probably over-propagates this function to the divergent DEC branch.
Propagation Review
Root cause: PROPAGATION BAD
Failure modes: FUNCTIONAL DIVERGENCE
Sources checked:
PANTHER:PTN000105428 SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET
HES-related ancestral node whose patterning evidence comes from HES/HER segmentation-clock members (e.g. zebrafish her genes, mouse Hes7). The DEC branch (BHLHE40/BHLHE41) lacks the WRPW motif and has no somitogenesis or axial-patterning evidence, so the function likely did not persist on that branch.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:11668339
aging Stra13-/- mice develop autoimmune disease

Stra13 expression is transcriptionally repressed and maintained at a low level in cells through a negative autoregulatory mechanism that is brought about by its interaction with the corepressor histone deacetylase (HDAC1)

Bhlhe40 mediates tissue-specific control of macrophage proli...

Summary: Mouse Bhlhe40 is required cell-intrinsically for self-renewal of large peritoneal macrophages and for efferocytosis-induced macrophage proliferation, acting by repressing Maf.
Reason: Bhlhe40 binds the Maf promoter and represses this anti-proliferative transcription factor, which permits macrophage cell cycling, so it acts as a direct transcriptional regulator of macrophage proliferation. Shown in two independent settings (IL-4/helminth-driven LPM expansion; Myc-Bhlhe40-c-Maf after apoptotic-cell uptake). Transferred by orthology; non-core, tissue-specific role.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:31061528
Bhlhe40 was required in a cell-intrinsic manner for the self-renewal and maintenance of large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs)
PMID:31061528
Our data suggest that Bhlhe40 is a transcriptional repressor of Maf in LPMs
PMID:34784501
Bhlhe40 then represses the cell-cycling-inhibitor c-Maf to drive proliferation
PMID:34784501
silencing Bhlhe40 completely prevented the increase in EdU incorporation in AC+ macrophages

Core Functions

Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcriptional repressor that binds class B CACGTG E-boxes as a homodimer or BHLHE41 heterodimer and represses RNA polymerase II target genes, including CLOCK-BMAL1-activated clock and clock-controlled genes (PER1, DBP, BHLHE41, its own promoter, NR0B2, ATP1B1), thereby shaping the phase and robustness of circadian gene expression.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:15193144
    providing direct evidence that DNA binding, rather than Bmal1 interactions, is responsible for the repression on the mPer1 promoter
  • PMID:12624110
    The repression was observed with wild type DEC1 but not its DNA binding-defective mutants
  • PMID:18411297
    DEC1 showed strong binding and transrepression on the E box, but not on the E' box, in chromatin immunoprecipitation, electrophoretic mobility shift, and luciferase reporter assays
  • PMID:18411297
    Overexpression of Dec1 delayed the phase of clock genes such as Dec1, Dec2, Per1, and Dbp that contain E boxes in their regulatory regions
  • PMID:12297495
    Stra13 binds with high affinity to CACGTG class B E-box elements as a homodimer

Transcriptional corepressor of retinoid X receptor (RXR) and RXR heterodimers (LXR, FXR, VDR, RAR): binds RXRalpha through an LXXLL motif in its basic region and represses ligand-induced transactivation.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:19786558
    DEC1 and DEC2 interacted directly with RXRalpha, and ligand addition enhanced their association
  • PMID:19786558
    Transfection assays showed that DEC1 and DEC2 repressed ligand-dependent transactivation by RXR
  • PMID:19786558
    an LXXLL motif in DEC1 and DEC2 is necessary for RXRalpha repression

In immune cells, acts as a direct transcriptional repressor of Il10 and Maf, restraining IL-10 production by T cells and myeloid cells and permitting self-renewal and proliferation of tissue-resident (large peritoneal) macrophages, including after efferocytosis (evidence from mouse).

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:29773644
    our ChIP-seq experiment identified a Bhlhe40 binding site at +6 kb relative to the transcriptional start site of Il10
  • PMID:29773644
    is required to repress Il10 expression during Mtb infection
  • PMID:31061528
    Our data suggest that Bhlhe40 is a transcriptional repressor of Maf in LPMs
  • PMID:31061528
    Bhlhe40 was required in a cell-intrinsic manner for the self-renewal and maintenance of large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs)
  • PMID:34784501
    Bhlhe40 then represses the cell-cycling-inhibitor c-Maf to drive proliferation

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is the IBA to anterior/posterior pattern specification (HES subfamily node PTN000105428) appropriately propagated to the divergent DEC branch (BHLHE40/BHLHE41), which lacks the WRPW motif and has no segmentation phenotype?

Q: Does human BHLHE40 directly activate any target genes (e.g. CSF2/GM-CSF, cell-cycle genes), or are reported positive effects indirect consequences of repressing other repressors?

Q: Should hypoxia induction of BHLHE40 (a direct HIF-1 target) and its role in hypoxic inhibition of adipogenesis via PPARG repression be represented as process annotations, or are these expression responses better left to GO-CAM?

Q: Which BHLHE40 functions depend on its BHLHE41 paralog (redundancy in alveolar macrophages, clock), and should annotations note this redundancy?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Genome-wide ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN of endogenous BHLHE40 in human macrophages and T cells, combined with acute degron depletion and nascent transcription (PRO-seq), to separate direct repressed and activated targets.

Hypothesis: Direct BHLHE40 targets are predominantly repressed through CACGTG E-boxes; activated genes are mostly indirect.

Type: genome-wide occupancy with acute depletion

Experiment: Test whether the LXXLL motif mutant (L78A/L79A) of human BHLHE40 retains E-box repression but loses RXR corepression in hepatocytes, and assess effects on hepatic lipid gene rhythms.

Hypothesis: E-box DNA-binding repression and RXR corepression are separable activities of BHLHE40.

Type: structure-function mutagenesis

Experiment: Assess human monocyte-derived and tissue macrophages with BHLHE40 knockout for IL-10 production and proliferation after IL-4 or apoptotic-cell exposure.

Hypothesis: The mouse Bhlhe40-Il10 and Bhlhe40-Maf regulatory axes are conserved in human macrophages.

Type: loss-of-function in primary human cells
