Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. Acts as repressor in the absence of CTNNB1, and as activator in its presence. Activates transcription from promoters with several copies of the Tcf motif 5'-CCTTTGATC-3' in the presence of CTNNB1. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by TCF7L2/TCF4 and CTNNB1. Expression of dominant-negative mutants results in cell-cycle arrest in G1. Necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial stem-cell compartment of the small intestine.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Human Transcription factor 7-like 2
Subcellular Location
Nucleus PML body Diffuse patte. Colocalizes with SUMO1 and PIAS4 in a subset of PML (promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies.
Interacts with TGFB1I1 (By similarity). Interacts with CTNNB1 (via the armadillo repeat); forms stable transcription complex. Interacts with EP300. Interacts with NLK. Interacts with CCDC85B (probably through the HMG box); prevents interaction with CTNNB1. Interacts with TNIK. Interacts with MAD2L2; prevents TCF7L2/TCF4 binding to promoters, negatively modulating its transcriptional activity.
