Members of the Hey family of transcriptional repressors are basic helix-loop-helix proteins that are thought to act downstream of Notch in diverse tissues. Although forced expression of Hey1, a target of Notch in myoblasts, is sufficient to recapitulate inhibitory effects of the pathway on differentiation, how Hey1 interferes with myogenic transcription has not been fully elucidated. We provide multiple lines of evidence that Hey1 does not target the intrinsic transcriptional activity of the skeletal muscle master regulator MyoD. Our results indicate instead that Hey1 is recruited to the promoter regions of myogenin and Mef2C, two genes whose induction is critical for myogenesis. Expression of Hey1 in C2C12 myoblasts correlates with reduced recruitment of MyoD to these promoters, arguing that Hey1 inhibits myogenesis by associating with and repressing expression of key myogenic targets.
