The nuclear DNA binding protein NF-E2 regulates expression of globulin genes in developing erythroid cells through interaction with upstream AP-1-like recognition sites. More specifically, NF-E2 recognizes a site containing an intact AP-1 binding motif, preceded by a G residue two base pairs upstream. NF-E2 is an obligate heterodimer composed of NF-E2 p45 and NF-E2 p18. NF-E2 p18, also known as NF-E2U or MAFK, is a ubiquitously expressed component that is related to the v-Maf oncogene. It contains a basic-leucine zipper domain that functions in DNA binding and dimerization. In addition, NF-E2 p18 may play a role in erythroid differentiation. The major component of NF-E2 is a polypeptide, designated NF-E2 p45, that belongs to the basic region-leucine zipper family of transcription factors. This subunit of NF-E2 is specifically expressed at low level in hematopoietic progenitor cells and differentiated cells of the erythroid, megakaryocyte and mast cell lineages.
