  • Subunit: Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Forms heterodimers with TCF3. Binds to the LIM domain containing protein LMO2 and to DRG1. Can assemble in a complex with LDB1 and LMO2. Component of a TAL-1 complex composed at least of CBFA2T3, LDB1, TAL1 and TCF3 (By similarity) 2 PDB 3D structures from [IMAGE] and Proteopedia [IMAGE] for TAL1: 2YPA (3D) [IMAGE] 2YPB (3D) [IMAGE]
