Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2 Mediates Calcium-dependent Transcription of the Interleukin-2 Gene in T Lymphocytes
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
The second messenger calcium plays an essential role in the T cell receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways leading to transcription of the interleukin-2 gene. A key mechanism of calcium signaling has been shown to be mediated by calcineurin and NFAT. We report herein that the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)-2 is another calcium signal transducer involved in the regulation of the...
