Mol Cell 22 (2006) 645-655. This work elucidates the mechanism at the basis of Gro/TLE recognition by DNA-binding repressors. It provides genetic, biochemical, and structural evidence showing that both the WRPW and eh1 Gro-recruitment motifs, found in DNA-binding repressors, interact specifically with the same pore region of the C-terminal WD beta-propeller domain of Gro/TLE.

The authors use chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments to analyse Hairy-dependent, Gro-mediated repression in the Drosophila embryo. They show that Gro does not function by displacing activators and/or coactivators off promoter regions. Instead, recruitment of Gro by Hairy leads to the spreading of Gro and histone deacetylation along an extended region of DNA, explaining the ability of Hairy to exert repression at long range.

This paper provides compelling evidence supporting an oncogenic role for Gro/TLE in cancer. It reports that transgenic mice overexpressing Gro/TLE develop lung tumours that are associated with reduction in p53 protein levels and upregulation of the ErbB1 and ErbB2 receptor tyrosine kinases. Strikingly, tumour progression in these mice phenocopies molecular and biological features observed in human lung cancer.

Development 135 (2008) 829-837. Using antibodies that specifically recognise the phosphorylated form of Gro, this paper demonstrates that signalling by multiple receptor tyrosine kinases leads to modification and downregulation of the Gro corepressor during embryonic Drosophila development. Importantly, the authors further show that Gro is phosphorylated by an efficient mechanism and that modification of Gro endures long after MAPK activation has terminated.

A Myc-Groucho complex integrates EGF and Notch signaling to regulate neural development. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007) 15771-15776. Genome-wide DamID profiling uncovers a novel link between Gro/TLE and the Myc oncogene. Specifically, this work shows that Gro physically binds Myc, forming a repressor complex that blocks expression of a subset of Myc target genes involved in neuroblast fate and mitosis. It further establishes that Myc and Gro are essential components of the transcriptional machinery that integrates EGFR and Notch signalling inputs during neurogenesis.
