beta-Cell-Specific Mafk Overexpression Impairs Pancreatic Endocrine Cell Development
Title: β-Cell-Specific Mafk Overexpression Impairs Pancreatic Endocrine Cell Development.
These data identify Mafg and Mafk as new cataract-associated candidates and define their function in regulating largely non-crystallin genes linked to human cataract.
Title: Compound mouse mutants of bZIP transcription factors Mafg and Mafk reveal a regulatory network of non-crystallin genes associated with cataract.
KAP-1 may contribute to the repression of Ey and beta-major globin gene transcription through recruitment to the promoters of these two genes, mediated by the interaction of KAP-1 with either Zfp445 or MafK, respectively
Title: Identification of KAP-1-associated complexes negatively regulating the Ey and β-major globin genes in the β-globin locus.
These findings demonstrate that a combination of p45NF-E2, Maf G, and Maf K is a key determinant of both megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis.
Title: Induction of functional platelets from mouse and human fibroblasts by p45NF-E2/Maf.
MafF, MafG, and MafK triple-knockout mice developed normally until embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5). Thereafter, however, the triple-knockout embryos showed severe growth retardation and liver hypoplasia, and the embryos died around E13.5.
Title: Embryonic lethality and fetal liver apoptosis in mice lacking all three small Maf proteins.
Histological analysis revealed that embryonic development of beta cells in the MafA(-/-)MafK(+) mice was significantly suppressed and the reduced number of beta cells was responsible for the early onset of diabetes.
Title: MafA-deficient and beta cell-specific MafK-overexpressing hybrid transgenic mice develop human-like severe diabetic nephropathy.
MafK/NF-E2 p18 recruitment was involved in the physical proximity of LCR and active beta-globin genes upon beta-globin gene transcriptional activation.
Title: MafK/NF-E2 p18 is required for beta-globin genes activation by mediating the proximity of LCR and active beta-globin genes in MEL cell line.
DNA-binding activity of endogenous MafA was significantly increased in the MafK transgenic mice
Title: MafK overexpression in pancreatic beta-cells caused impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
Thus compound mafG::mafK mutants develop age- and maf gene dosage-dependent cell-autonomous neuronal deficiencies that lead to profound neurological defects.
Title: Small Maf compound mutants display central nervous system neuronal degeneration, aberrant transcription, and Bach protein mislocalization coincident with myoclonus and abnormal startle response.
The involvement of both HNF4alpha and NF-E2 in Abcc6 gene regulation suggests that Abcc6 might be involved in a detoxification processes related to hemoglobin or heme.
Title: HNF4alpha and NF-E2 are key transcriptional regulators of the murine Abcc6 gene expression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
