About This Section Entrez Gene summary for MITF : This gene encodes a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. It regulates the differentiation and development of melanocytes retinal pigment epithelium and is also responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MITF_HUMAN, O75030 Function : Transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes with essential roles in cell differentiation,proliferation and survival. Binds to symmetrical DNA sequences (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the promoters of target genes, such as BCL2 and tyrosinase (TYR). Plays an important role in melanocyte development by regulating the expression of tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1). Plays a critical role in the differentiation of various cell types, such as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelium Gene Wiki entry for MITF (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor)

Phosphorylation at Ser-405 significantly enhances the ability to bind the tyrosinase promoter. Phosphorylated at Ser-180 and Ser-516 following KIT signaling, trigerring a short live activation: Phosphorylation at Ser-180 and Ser-516 by MAPK and RPS6KA1, respectively, activate the transcription factor activity but also promote ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome1
Ubiquitinated following phosphorylation at Ser-180, leading to subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Deubiquitinated by USP13, preventing its degradation1

Defects in MITF are the cause of Waardenburg syndrome type 2A (WS2A) [MIM:193510]. It is a dominant inherited disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and patches of depigmentation. The features show variable expression and penetrance Defects in MITF are a cause of Waardenburg syndrome type 2 with ocular albinism (WS2-OA) [MIM:103470]. It is an ocular albinism with sensorineural deafness Defects in MITF are the cause of Tietz syndrome (TIETZS) [MIM:103500]. It is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by generalized hypopigmentation and profound, congenital, bilateral deafness. Penetrance is complete Defects in MITF are a cause of susceptibility to cutaneous malignant melanoma type 8 (CMM8) [MIM:614456]. A malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign nevus, which occurs most often in the skin but also may involve other sites 20/68 diseases for MITF (see all 68 ): About MalaCards waardenburg syndrome type 2 waardenburg's syndrome waardenburg syndrome type 2a tietz syndrome tietze's syndrome waardenburg syndrome/ocular albinism, digenic waardenburg syndrome/ocular albinism shah-waardenburg syndrome ocular albinism microphthalmia albinism-deafness syndrome lentigo maligna melanoma superficial spreading melanoma ocular albinism with sensorineural deafness albinism perivascular epithelioid cell tumor hearing loss vitelliform macular dystrophy uterine inversion retinitis 10 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for MITF :Microphthalmia Waardenburg's syndrome Melanoma Clear cell sarcoma Vitiligo Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor Sensorineural hearing loss Osteopetrosis Angiomyolipoma Piebaldism 10/41 Novoseek disease relationships for MITF gene (see all 41 ) About this table
