TCF7 (TCF1), LEF1, TCF7L1 (TCF3) and TCF7L2 (TCF4) are HMG box-containing DNA-binding proteins that recognize WNT-responsive elements (WREs) in the promoters of WNT target genes. The WRE consensus sequence is CCTTTGWW, where W represents either T or A (reviewed in Brantjes et al, 2002). In the absence of a WNT signal, promoter-bound TCF/LEF is bound by one of four Groucho homologues, TLE1, 2, 3 or 4 (Levanon et al, 1998; Brantjes et al, 2001; Daniels and Weis, 2005). Groucho/TLE proteins are co-repressors for a variety of DNA-binding transcription factors and mediate repression at least in part through their interaction with histone deacetylases such as RPD3/HDAC1 (Arce et al, 2009; Brantjes et al, 2001; Chen et al, 1999; reviewed in Chen and Courey, 2000).
