About This Section Entrez Gene summary for MEF2C : This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe mental retardation, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MEF2C_HUMAN, Q06413 Function : Transcription activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions ofmany muscle-specific genes. Controls cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis, and is also involved in vascular development. Plays an essential role in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory by suppressing the number of excitatory synapses and thus regulating basal and evoked synaptic transmission. Crucial for normal neuronal development, distribution, and electrical activity in the neocortex. Necessary for proper development of megakaryocytes and platelets and for bone marrow B-lymphopoiesis. Required for B-cell survival and proliferation in response to BCR stimulation, efficient IgG1 antibody responses to T-cell-dependent antigens and for normal induction of germinal center B-cells. May also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture (By similarity). Isoform 3 and isoform 4, which lack the repressor domain, are more active than isoform 1 and isoform 2 Gene Wiki entry for MEF2C

About This Section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MEF2C_HUMAN, Q06413 (See
protein sequence )Recommended Name: Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C Size : 473 amino acids; 51221 Da
Subunit : Forms a complex with class II HDACs in undifferentiating cells. On myogenic differentiation, HDACs arereleased into the cytoplasm allowing MEF2s to interact with other proteins for activation. Interacts with EP300 in differentiating cells; the interaction acetylates MEF2C leading to increased DNA binding and activation. Interacts with HDAC7 and CARM1 (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC4, HDAC7 AND HDAC9; the interaction WITH HDACs represses transcriptional activity. Interacts with MYOCD (By similarity)
Subcellular location : Nucleus
Developmental stage : Expression is highest during the early stages of postnatal development, at later stages levelsgreatly decrease
Secondary accessions : C9JMZ0 D7F7N5 F8W7V7Alternative splicing : 6 isoforms : Q06413-1 Q06413-2 Q06413-3 Q06413-4 Q06413-5 Q06413-6 (No experimental confirmation available)Explore the universe of human proteins at neXtProt for MEF2C: NX_Q06413 Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation on Ser-59 enhances DNA binding activity (By similarity). Phosphorylation on Ser-396 is required for Lys-391 sumoylation and inhibits transcriptional activity1
Acetylated by p300 on several sites in diffentiating myocytes. Acetylation on Lys-4 increases DNA binding and transactivation1
Sumoylated on Lys-391 with SUMO2 but not by SUMO1 represses transcriptional activity1
Proteolytically cleaved in cerebellar granule neurons, probably by caspase 7, following neurotoxicity. Preferentially cleaves the CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylated form which leads to neuron apoptosis and transcriptional inactivation1

MEF2C for disorders About GeneDecksing OMIM gene information: 600662 OMIM disorders : 613443 UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MEF2C_HUMAN, Q06413
Defects in MEF2C are the cause of mental retardation-stereotypic movements-epilepsy and/or cerebral malformations (MRSME) [MIM:613443]. It is a disorder characterized by severe mental retardation, absent speech, hypotonia, poor eye contact and stereotypic movements. Dysmorphic features include high broad forehead with variable small chin, short nose with anteverted nares, large open mouth, upslanted palpebral fissures and prominent eyebrows. Some patients have seizures 20/21 diseases for MEF2C (see all 21 ): About MalaCards mental retardation, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and/or cerebral malformations cerebritis infectious mononucleosis muscle hypertrophy ductal carcinoma in situ hypertrophic cardiomyopathy acute lymphoblastic leukemia sporadic breast cancer dilated cardiomyopathy lymphoblastic leukemia cardiomyopathy hernia hypotonia breast cancer ischemia hepatocellular carcinoma seizures leukemia carcinoma cholesterol 1 disease from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for MEF2C :Ventricular septal defect 4 Novoseek disease relationships for MEF2C gene About this table
