MEF2: a central regulator of diverse developmental programs
Abstract
The myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) transcription factor acts as a lynchpin in the transcriptional circuits that control cell differentiation and organogenesis. The spectrum of genes activated by MEF2 in different cell types depends on extracellular signaling and on co-factor interactions that modulate MEF2 activity. Recent studies have revealed MEF2 to form an intimate partnership with class IIa histone deacetylases, which together function as a point of convergence of multiple epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. We review the myriad roles of MEF2 in development and the mechanisms through which it couples developmental, physiological and pathological signals with programs of cell-specific transcription.

Phosphorylation of MEF2A Thr312 and Thr319 by p38α and presumably ERK2 stimulates MEF2A-mediated transactivation, while phosphorylation of NFAT4 Ser163 and Ser165 by JNK promotes its translocation from nucleus to cytosol.
“Phosphorylation of two residues in MEF2A (Thr312 and Thr319) by p38α and presumably ERK2 stimulates MEF2A-mediated transactivation in cells, whereas phosphorylation of Ser163 and Ser165 in NFAT4 by JNK promotes its translocation from the nucleus to the cytosol (22,24).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
