| Modification Notes | Myogenic helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factors of the myogenin/MyoD class have been studied in detail over the past few years (1–4). Muscle gene induction by these proteins depends upon sequence-specific DNA binding at the E box DNA element present in many muscle enhancers and promoters (1–4). MEF-2 is a muscle-specific DNA binding protein that recognizes an A+T-rich sequence [CTA (A/T)4 TAG] localized in the control regions of numerous muscle-specific genes (5,6). MEF-2 belongs to the MADS (MCM1, Agamous, Deficiens and serum-response factor) box family of transcription factors (5). The MEF-2 proteins comprise several alternatively spliced isoforms from the MEF-2 gene and a related factor encoded by the related gene xMEF2 (7). MEF2 expression is ubiquitous but preferential in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells (7,8). The serine 59 residue, located between the MADS and MEF2 domains of MEF-2C, is phosphorylated in vivo and can be phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase-II (CKII) (9). Phosphorylation of this site enhances the DNA binding and transcriptional activity of MEF-2C by increasing its DNA binding activity 5-fold (2). |
