Summary
HMBOX1 (homeobox containing 1, HGNC:26137) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p21.1-p12, encoding Homeobox-containing protein 1 (Q6NT76). Binds directly to 5’-TTAGGG-3’ repeats in telomeric DNA.
Enables double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; telomere maintenance via telomerase; and telomere-telomerase complex assembly. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; chromosome, telomeric region; and nuclear body.

Function. Binds directly to 5’-TTAGGG-3’ repeats in telomeric DNA. Associates with the telomerase complex at sites of active telomere processing and positively regulates telomere elongation. Important for TERT binding to chromatin, indicating a role in recruitment of the telomerase complex to telomeres. Also plays a role in the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway in telomerase-negative cells where it promotes formation and/or maintenance of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia bodies (APBs). Enhances formation of telomere C-circles in ALT cells, suggesting a possible role in telomere recombination. Might also be involved in the DNA damage response at telomeres.
Subunit / interactions. Associates with the telomerase holoenzyme complex. Interacts with DKC1, XRCC6 and COIL.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Chromosome. Telomere. Cajal body. PML body Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Detected in pancreas, brain, spleen, placenta, prostate, thymus, liver, heart, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, stomach, uterus, testis, kidney, ovary, colon, lung, cardiac muscle and thyroid gland.
Domain organisation. The homeobox domain is required for binding to 5’-TTAGGG-3’ repeats in telomeres, and for telomere localization.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 76 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
