Abstract bHLH-Orange proteins, like the mouse Hes and the Drosophila Enhancer of split [E(spl)] proteins are transcription factors that, among a multitude of functions, are implicated in maintaining the undifferentiated state in many stem-cell based systems. For instance, they antagonize bHLH proneural activators and suppress neural fate. Their levels have to be exquisitely regulated to achieve a precise balance between proliferation and differentiation. For this reason they are subject to multi-tiered regulation. During my PhD research I have tried to understand how the expression of two neighboring E(spl) genes, E(spl)m7 and E(spl)m8, is regulated and how this regulation impacts biological processes controlled by their protein products. I have provided description of their enhancer, promoter and 3' untranslated elements and scrutinized the role of these elements in specifying spatio-temporal abundance of the E(spl)m7 and E(spl)m8 proteins. I demonstrate that compromising transcriptional negative autoregulation and translational repression can 2 have dramatic consequences on the expression levels and the activity of these two genes. Thus, both regulatory modes are essential in determining level-dependent functions of E(spl)m7 and E(spl)m8.
