Abstract excerpt
The small Maf transcription factor proteins bind to Maf Recognition Elements (MAREs) by dimerizing with CNC proteins or themselves. We undertook experiments to clarify the functional relationship between the small Mafs and their partners in vivo. Embryos expressing abundant transgene-derived MafK died of severe anemia, while lines expressing lower levels of small Maf lived to adulthood. Megakaryocytes from the...
