Previous experiments by Hatzi et al. showed that BCL6 is also capable of forming a ternary complex with both BCOR and SMRT (silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptors; also called NCOR2, or nuclear corepressor 2) at the promoters of certain genes in DLBCL cells85. Here, BCL6 is linked to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
