General annotation (Comments)

Function

Transcription factor that is thought to be involved in regulation of organogenesis. May be involved in determination and maintenance of retina formation. Binds a 5'-GGTGTCAG-3' motif present in the ARE regulatory element of ATP1A1. Binds a 5'-TCA[AG][AG]TTNC-3' motif present in the MEF3 element in the myogenin promoter, and in the IGFBP5 promoter By similarity. Thought to be regulated by association with Dach and Eya proteins, and seems to be coactivated by EYA1, EYA2 and EYA3 By similarity.

Subunit structure

Probably binds DNA dimer. Interacts with EYA3, and probably EYA1 and EYA2 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus Ref.7.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in adult but not in fetal eyes. Found in corneal epithelium and endothelium, lens epithelium, ciliary body epithelia, cellular layers of the retina and the sclera. Ref.5

Developmental stage

At the begin of fourth week of development detected in cytoplasm of somite cells, and at the end of fourth week is accumulated in the nucleus. Between the sixth and eighth week of development detected in the nucleus of limb bud cells. Ref.7

Involvement in disease

Defects in SIX5 are the cause of branchiootorenal syndrome type 2 (BOR2) [MIM:610896]. BOR is an autosomal dominant disorder manifested by various combinations of preauricular pits, branchial fistulae or cysts, lacrimal duct stenosis, hearing loss, structural defects of the outer, middle, or inner ear, and renal dysplasia. Associated defects include asthenic habitus, long narrow facies, constricted palate, deep overbite, and myopia. Hearing loss may be due to mondini type cochlear defect and stapes fixation. Penetrance of BOR syndrome is high, although expressivity can be extremely variable. Ref.8

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family.

Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
