Mutational analysis of the DNA binding, dimerization, and transcriptional activation domains of MEF2C.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Jun 1996

Molkentin J D, Black B L, Martin J F, Olson E N

Abstract excerpt

There are four members of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors in vertebrates, MEF2A, -B, -C, and -D, which have homology within a MADS box at their amino termini and an adjacent motif known as the MEF2 domain. These factors activate muscle gene expression by binding as homo- and heterodimers to an A/T-rich DNA sequence in the control regions of muscle-specific genes. To understand...
