General annotation (Comments)

Function	Transcriptional repressor which is required for germinal center formation and antibody affinity maturation. Probably plays an important role in lymphomagenesis. Ref.7 Ref.12
Subunit structure	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. Ref.12 Ref.8
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in germinal center T and B cells and in primary immature dendritic cells. Ref.7 Ref.9
Induction	Down-regulated during maturation of dendritic cells by selective stimuli such as LPS, CD40L and zymosan. Ref.9
Domain	The BTB domain mediates homodimerization. Its dimer interface mediates peptide binding such as to corepressors BCOR and NCOR2.
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated by MAPK1 in response to antigen receptor activation. Phosphorylation induces its degradation by ubiquitin/proteasome pathway.
Involvement in disease	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. 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. A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of lymphoma. Translocation t(3;4)(q27;p11) with ARHH/TTF.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. Contains 6 C2H2-type zinc fingers.
