Cooperative activation of muscle gene expression by MEF2 and myogenic bHLH proteins
Article Abstract:
A cooperative interaction between the DNA binding domains of the myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) and the myogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins increases muscle gene expression. MEF2 binds to the E box target regions of bHLH. The stimulation of gene expression in fibroblasts requires a transactivation domain in either MEF2 or BHLH. The probable mechanisms of muscle gene activation are discussed.
