Summary: Enables protein heterodimerization activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including chorion-containing eggshell formation; compound eye morphogenesis; and embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; extended germ band embryo; gastrula embryo; gut section; and ovariole. Orthologous to several human genes including ID1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 1, HLH protein) and ID4 (inhibitor of DNA binding 4, HLH protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

EMC is required for biogenesis of Xport-A, an essential chaperone of Rhodopsin-1 and the TRP channel.
Title: EMC is required for biogenesis of Xport-A, an essential chaperone of Rhodopsin-1 and the TRP channel.
provides initial insights into the mechanisms underlying the function of daughterless and Emc in neurons while providing a novel understanding of how Emc functions to restrict daughterless activity within the cell
Title: Extramacrochaetae promotes branch and bouton number via the sequestration of daughterless in the cytoplasm of neurons.
post-transcriptional mechanisms contribute more to regulation of Emc protein levels than transcriptional mechanisms do.
Title: Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of extra macrochaetae during Drosophila adult peripheral neurogenesis.
Daughterless level sets Emc protein levels in most cells, apparently by stabilizing Emc in heterodimers. Emc is destabilized in proneural regions by local competition for heterodimer formation by proneural bHLH proteins including Atonal or AS-C proteins.
Title: Regulation of the Drosophila ID protein Extra macrochaetae by proneural dimerization partners.
emc is required for the left-right asymmetric morphogenesis of embryonic hindgut. Emc suppression of Daughterless is essential for development.
Title: E and ID proteins regulate cell chirality and left-right asymmetric development in Drosophila.
Notch signaling activates the expression of extramacrochaetae (emc), which encodes a helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factor. Emc, in turn, then forms a biochemical complex with Da.
Title: Inhibition of Daughterless by Extramacrochaetae mediates Notch-induced cell proliferation.
Extramacrochaetae functions in dorsal-ventral patterning of Drosophila imaginal discs.

Hh drives and Emc impedes the progression of the furrow across the developing retina.
Title: Hedgehog and extramacrochaetae in the Drosophila eye: an irresistible force meets an immovable object.
we show that during the development of epithelial cells in the imaginal discs, the G2/M transition, and hence cell proliferation, is controlled by Emc via Da. In eukaryotic cells, the main activator of this transition is the Cdc25 phosphatase, string
