Gene Description

TBX5 is a T-box transcription factor of the TBX2/3/4/5 subfamily, expressed in the developing heart (atria, left ventricle, conduction system, epicardium) and forelimb. Its N-terminal T-box domain binds T-box elements (AGGTGTGA) in Pol II promoters and enhancers, and TBX5 mainly activates targets such as NPPA, GJA5/Cx40, FGF10, MYH6, ID2 and PITX2. It works cooperatively with partner cardiac transcription factors: it binds NKX2-5 (heterodimer on composite DNA elements), GATA4 and MEF2C, and interacts with SALL4 in limb and heart patterning. Coactivators TAZ/YAP1 and acetylation by KAT2A/KAT2B enhance its activity, and acetylation promotes nuclear retention. TBX5 shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm, where the PDZ-LIM protein PDLIM7 (LMP4) tethers it to actin and represses it. In development TBX5 is required for forelimb bud initiation through direct activation of Fgf10, for atrial and ventricular septation, for posterior (inflow) heart growth, and in a dosage-sensitive way for patterning and maturation of the atrioventricular node and ventricular conduction system. In the adult atrium it maintains rhythm through a TBX5-PITX2 network. Heterozygous loss-of-function variants cause Holt-Oram syndrome (upper-limb radial-ray defects with atrial/ventricular septal defects and conduction block), and variants are associated with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy.

    compound haploinsufficiency of Tbx5 and Nkx2-5 or Tbx5 and Id2 prevented embryonic specification of the ventricular conduction system
  • PMID:8988165
    We conclude that TBX5 is critical for limb and heart development and suggest that haploinsufficiency of TBX5 causes Holt-Oram syndrome

Initiates forelimb bud formation by directly activating Fgf10 in forelimb-field lateral plate mesoderm and is required for continued forelimb outgrowth; haploinsufficiency causes radial-ray upper-limb defects.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:12490567
    Tbx5 directly activates the Fgf10 gene via a conserved binding site, providing a simple and direct mechanism for limb bud initiation
  • PMID:12490567
    mouse embryos lacking Tbx5 do not form forelimb buds
  • PMID:12736217
    we demonstrate that this gene is also required at early limb bud stages for forelimb bud development
  • PMID:16183809
    validate our clinical diagnostic criteria for HOS including an absolute requirement for preaxial radial ray upper limb malformation

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should TBX5 carry GO:0060174 limb bud formation (or a forelimb-specific child), given direct Fgf10 activation and absence of forelimb buds in Tbx5 null mice, and why is mouse Tbx5 not annotated to it?

Q: Does cytoplasmic TBX5 (PDLIM7/LMP4-bound, actin-associated) have any function of its own, or is it purely a regulatory sequestration pool?

Q: Which TBX5 targets mediate its non-cell-autonomous inhibition of cardiomyocyte proliferation in overexpression studies, and is this physiological?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: CUT&RUN for TBX5, NKX2-5 and GATA4 in isogenic TBX5 wild-type, heterozygous-null and missense-knock-in human iPSC-derived atrial and conduction-like cardiomyocytes, combined with ATAC-seq and RNA-seq.

Hypothesis: HOS missense variants differ in whether they impair DNA binding or partner-TF cooperativity at specific atrial and conduction-system enhancers.

Type: genome-wide DNA-binding and transcriptomic profiling
