About This Section Entrez Gene summary for MEF2A : The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding transcription factor that activates many muscle-specific, growth factor-induced, and stress-induced genes. The encoded protein can act as a homodimer or as a heterodimer and is involved in several cellular processes, including muscle development, neuronal differentiation, cell growth control, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene could be a cause of autosomal dominant coronary artery disease 1 with myocardial infarction (ADCAD1). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.(provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MEF2A_HUMAN, Q02078 Function : Transcriptional activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element, 5'-YTA[AT](4)TAR-3', found innumerous muscle-specific genes. Also involved in the activation of numerous growth factor- and stress-induced genes. Mediates cellular functions not only in skeletal and cardiac muscle development, but also in neuronal differentiation and survival. Plays diverse roles in the control of cell growth, survival and apoptosis via p38 MAPK signaling in muscle-specific and/or growth factor-related transcription. In cerebellar granule neurons, phosphorylated and sumoylated MEF2A represses transcription of NUR77 promoting synaptic differentiation Gene Wiki entry for MEF2A (Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A)

About This Section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MEF2A_HUMAN, Q02078 (See
protein sequence )Recommended Name: Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2A Size : 507 amino acids; 54811 Da
Subunit : Binds DNA as a homo- or heterodimer. Dimerizes with MEF2D. Interacts with HDAC7 (By similarity). Interactswith PIAS1; the interaction enhances sumoylation. Interacts with HDAC4, HDAC9 and SLC2A4RG. Interacts (via the N-terminal) with MAPK7; the interaction results in the phosphorylation and transcriptional activity of MEF2A
Subcellular location : Nucleus
Sequence caution : Sequence=AAH53871.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended;Sequence=BAD92222.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally shortened;

Constitutive phosphorylation on Ser-408 promotes Lys-403 sumoylation thus preventing acetylation at this site. Dephosphorylation on Ser-408 by PPP3CA upon neuron depolarization promotes a switch from sumoylation to acetylation on residue Lys-403 leading to inhibition of dendrite claw differentiation. Phosphorylation on Thr-312 and Thr-319 are the main sites involved in p38 MAPK signaling and activate transcription. Phosphorylated on these sites by MAPK14/p38alpha and MAPK11/p38beta, but not by MAPK13/p38delta nor by MAPK12/p38gamma. Phosphorylation on Ser-408 by CDK5 induced by neurotoxicity inhibits MEF2A transcriptional activation leading to apoptosis of cortical neurons. Phosphorylation on Thr-312, Thr-319 and Ser-355 can be induced by EGF1
Sumoylation on Lys-403 is enhanced by PIAS1 and represses transcriptional activity. Phosphorylation on Ser-408 is required for sumoylation. Has no effect on nuclear location nor on DNA binding. Sumoylated with SUMO1 and, to a lesser extent with SUMO2 and SUMO3. PIASx facilitates sumoylation in postsynaptic dendrites in the cerebellar cortex and promotes their morphogenesis (By similarity)1
Acetylation on Lys-403 activates transcriptional activity. Acetylated by p300 on several sites in diffentiating myocytes. Acetylation on Lys-4 increases DNA binding and transactivation (By similarity). Hyperacetylation by p300 leads to enhanced cardiac myocyte growth and heart failure1
Proteolytically cleaved in cerebellar granule neurons on several sites by caspase 3 and caspase 7 following neurotoxicity. Preferentially cleaves the CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylated form which leads to neuron apoptosis and transcriptional inactivation1

Defects in MEF2A are a cause of coronary artery disease, autosomal dominant, type 1 (ADCAD1) [MIM:608320]. A common heart disease characterized by reduced or absent blood flow in one or more of the arteries that encircle and supply the heart. Its most important complication is acute myocardial infarction 20/22 diseases for MEF2A (see all 22 ): About MalaCards myocardial infarction coronary artery disease, autosomal dominant, 1 congenital diaphragmatic hernia dilated cardiomyopathy familial dilated cardiomyopathy polycystic ovary syndrome insulin resistance muscle hypertrophy hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cardiomyopathy hernia neuronitis rhabdomyosarcoma embryonal carcinoma alzheimer's disease hepatitis c medulloblastoma hepatocellular carcinoma carcinoma hepatitis 10/19 Novoseek disease relationships for MEF2A gene (see all 19 ) About this table
