Calculated MW: 17850. Function: Since they lack a putative transactivation domain, the small Mafs behave as transcriptional repressors when they dimerize among themselves (PubMed:11154691). However, they seem to serve as transcriptional activators by dimerizing with other (usually larger) basic-zipper proteins, such as NFE2, NFE2L1 and NFE2L2, and recruiting them to specific DNA-binding sites (PubMed:8932385, PubMed:9421508, PubMed:11154691). Small Maf proteins heterodimerize with Fos and may act as competitive repressors of the NFE2L2 transcription factor (PubMed:11154691). Transcription factor, component of erythroid-specific transcription factor NFE2L2 (PubMed:11154691). Activates globin gene expression when associated with NFE2L2 (PubMed:1115469.

products description :
Globin gene expression is regulated through nuclear factor. erythroid-2 (NFE2) elements located in enhancer-like locus control. regions positioned many kb upstream of alpha- and beta-gene. clusters (summarized by Blank et al., 1997 [PubMed 9166829]). NFE2. DNA-binding activity consists of a heterodimer containing a. ubiquitous small Maf protein (MafF, MIM 604877; MafG; or MafK, MIM. 600197) and the tissue-restricted protein p45 NFE2 (MIM 601490). Both subunits are members of the activator protein-1-like. superfamily of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins (see MIM. 165160).
