Mef2A, a homologue of animal Mef2 transcription factors, regulates cell differentiation in Dictyostelium discoideum.

BMC developmental biology - 11 Apr 2013

Galardi-Castilla María, Fernandez-Aguado Irene, Suarez Teresa, Sastre Leandro

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Transcription factors from the MADS-box family play a relevant role in cell differentiation and development and include the animal SRF (serum response factor) and MEF2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2) proteins. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum contains four genes coding for MADS-box transcription factors, two of these genes code for proteins that are more similar to SRF, and the other two code...
