Descriptions

MEF2 factors regulate transcription during cardiac and skeletal myogenesis. Phosphorylation by p38 at Thr 293 and Thr 300 within a linker region, and Ser 387 within transcription repressor domain enhances MEF2C activity allosterically, which implicates potential mechanism of autoinhibition.
