Supplementary information

The c-Maf protein also known as Maf or MAF is a member of the large MAF family of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors. This protein plays a significant role in the regulation of gene expression. It has a molecular weight of approximately 38 kDa. c-Maf is commonly expressed in various tissues such as the lens of the eye the kidneys and specific immune cells including T cells and macrophages. It is widely studied due to its involvement in transcriptional activation of certain target genes.
Biological function summary

C-Maf protein influences cellular differentiation and function particularly in immune cells. It forms part of a transcriptional complex that regulates genes critical for the production of interleukins and other cytokines. In the immune system c-Maf is essential for the differentiation of T-helper 2 cells and influences the production of cytokines such as IL-4. Additionally it is involved in the maturation of lens fibers in the eye and modulation of renal functions.

Pathways

C-Maf plays an important role in the immune and visual system. It is part of the signaling pathways that regulate Th2 cytokine genes including IL-4 within the adaptive immune response. This process involves interaction with other transcription factors such as STAT6 and GATA3. Moreover the lens development pathway also includes c-Maf where it works with proteins like CRYAA to maintain lens transparency and function.

C-Maf has been linked to multiple myeloma and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. c-Maf is often upregulated in multiple myeloma a cancer of plasma cells where it influences proliferation and survival of the malignant cells through its target genes like cyclin D2. Furthermore in juvenile idiopathic arthritis c-Maf contributes to the dysregulation of inflammatory cytokines indirectly involving proteins like IL-10 and IL-21. Understanding c-Maf’s function aids in exploring therapeutic targets for these diseases.

Target data

Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Involved in embryonic lens fiber cell development. Recruits the transcriptional coactivators CREBBP and/or EP300 to crystallin promoters leading to up-regulation of crystallin gene during lens fiber cell differentiation. Activates the expression of IL4 in T helper 2 (Th2) cells. Increases T-cell susceptibility to apoptosis by interacting with MYB and decreasing BCL2 expression. Together with PAX6, transactivates strongly the glucagon gene promoter through the G1 element. Activates transcription of the CD13 proximal promoter in endothelial cells. Represses transcription of the CD13 promoter in early stages of myelopoiesis by affecting the ETS1 and MYB cooperative interaction. Involved in the initial chondrocyte terminal differentiation and the disappearance of hypertrophic chondrocytes during endochondral bone development. Binds to the sequence 5'-[GT]G[GC]N[GT]NCTCAGNN-3' in the L7 promoter. Binds to the T-MARE (Maf response element) sites of lens-specific alpha- and beta-crystallin gene promoters. Binds element G1 on the glucagon promoter. Binds an AT-rich region adjacent to the TGC motif (atypical Maf response element) in the CD13 proximal promoter in endothelial cells (By similarity). When overexpressed, represses anti-oxidant response element (ARE)-mediated transcription. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. Binds to the ARE sites of detoxifying enzyme gene promoters.
