Function

Sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that interacts with inducible viral and cellular enhancer elements to regulate transcription of selected genes. AP-2 factors bind to the consensus sequence 5'-GCCNNNGGC-3' and activate genes involved in a large spectrum of important biological functions including proper eye, face, body wall, limb and neural tube development. They also suppress a number of genes including MCAM/MUC18, C/EBP alpha and MYC. AP-2-alpha is the only AP-2 protein required for early morphogenesis of the lens vesicle. Together with the CITED2 coactivator, stimulates the PITX2 P1 promoter transcription activation. Associates with chromatin to the PITX2 P1 promoter region.

Activity summary

Transcription factor AP-2-alpha also known as TFAP2A or AP-2 is a protein acting as an important regulator in cellular processes. It weighs approximately 52 kDa. TFAP2A is known for its role in binding specific DNA sequences to regulate target gene transcription. It expresses highly in neural crest-derived tissues as well as in the placenta breast and skin. This transcription factor plays an essential role in embryonic development cell proliferation and differentiation.

Biological function summary

TFAP2A contributes significantly to the regulation of gene expression involved in essential developmental and cellular processes. It acts as part of a complex with other transcription factors allowing it to coordinate the expression of a variety of genes linked to cell growth and apoptosis. AP-2 also regulates genes involved in neural development and skin morphogenesis. Its interaction with other factors such as AP-2γ and AP-2β enhances its functionality indicating a complex mechanism of action.

Pathways

TFAP2A engages in critical signalling circuits such as the MAPK and Wnt pathways which are essential for cell cycle regulation and embryonic development. Within these pathways related proteins like AP-2γ and AP-594 interact with TFAP2A further illustrating its role in signal transduction. These relationships highlight the importance of TFAP2A in orchestrating cellular responses to growth signals and environmental cues.

Associated diseases and disorders

TFAP2A has links to a range of pathological conditions including cancer and neural crest-related disorders. In melanoma for example TFAP2A's regulatory role affects genes associated with tumor growth and metastasis. The protein's interaction with other transcription factors like AP-647 may influence cancer progression and therapy response. Additionally the dysregulation of TFAP2A affects neural crest development potentially leading to congenital disorders. Understanding these interactions assists in unraveling the molecular basis of such diseases and informs therapeutic strategies.
