Regulation of muscle GLUT4 enhancer factor and myocyte enhancer factor 2 by AMP-activated protein kinase.
As the primary glucose transporter in skeletal muscle, GLUT4 is an important factor in the regulation of blood glucose. We previously reported that stimulation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR) increased GLUT4 expression in muscle. GLUT4 enhancer factor (GEF) and myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) have been shown to be impor...
متن کاملCyclin-dependent kinase 5 mediates neurotoxin-induced degradation of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2.
Regulation of the process of neuronal death plays a central role both during development of the CNS and in adult brain. The transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) plays a critical role in neuronal survival. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) mediates neurotoxic effects by phosphorylating and inhibiting MEF2. How Cdk5-dependent phosphorylation reduces MEF2 transactivation activity r...
متن کاملMembers of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factor family differentially regulate Bdnf transcription in response to neuronal depolarization.
Transcription of the gene encoding brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) is induced in response to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli via the activation of a complex array of transcription factors. However, to what degree individual transcription factors confer specificity upon the regulation of Bdnf is poorly understood. Previous studies have shown that members of the myocyte enhancer f...
متن کاملThe Drosophila Transcription Factors Tinman and Pannier Activate and Collaborate with Myocyte Enhancer Factor-2 to Promote Heart Cell Fate
Expression of the MADS domain transcription factor Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2 (MEF2) is regulated by numerous and overlapping enhancers which tightly control its transcription in the mesoderm. To understand how Mef2 expression is controlled in the heart, we identified a late stage Mef2 cardiac enhancer that is active in all heart cells beginning at stage 14 of embryonic development. This enhance...
متن کاملControl of cardiac-specific transcription by p300 through myocyte enhancer factor-2D.
The transcriptional integrator p300 regulates gene expression by interaction with sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins and local remodeling of chromatin. p300 is required for cardiac-specific gene transcription, but the molecular basis of this requirement is unknown. Here we report that the MADS (MCM-1, agamous, deficiens, serum response factor) box transcription factor myocyte enhancer facto...
