Target data

Function

Acts as a transcriptional activator that promotes transcription of muscle-specific target genes and plays a role in muscle differentiation, cell cycle exit and muscle atrophy. Essential for the development of functional embryonic skeletal fiber muscle differentiation. However is dispensable for postnatal skeletal muscle growth; phosphorylation by CAMK2G inhibits its transcriptional activity in respons to muscle activity. Required for the recruitment of the FACT complex to muscle-specific promoter regions, thus promoting gene expression initiation. During terminal myoblast differentiation, plays a role as a strong activator of transcription at loci with an open chromatin structure previously initiated by MYOD1. Together with MYF5 and MYOD1, co-occupies muscle-specific gene promoter core regions during myogenesis. Cooperates also with myocyte-specific enhancer factor MEF2D and BRG1-dependent recruitment of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling enzymes to alter chromatin structure at myogenic late gene promoters. Facilitates cell cycle exit during terminal muscle differentiation through the up-regulation of miR-20a expression, which in turn represses genes involved in cell cycle progression. Binds to the E-box containing (E1) promoter region of the miR-20a gene. Plays also a role in preventing reversal of muscle cell differentiation. Contributes to the atrophy-related gene expression in adult denervated muscles. Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts (By similarity).

Activity summary

Myogenin also known as MYOG is a muscle-specific transcription factor that plays an important role in the regulation of muscle differentiation and development. It belongs to the MyoD family of basic helix-loop-helix proteins. Myogenin has a molecular weight of approximately 34 to 39 kDa. It is typically expressed in skeletal muscle tissues aiding in the transition from proliferating myoblasts to differentiated myotubes. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) methods often use myogenin antibodies like the 'myogenin anticuerpo' and 'F5D' to identify myogenin expression within tissue samples facilitating the understanding of muscle tissue organization and development.

Biological function summary

Myogenin functions in controlling the transcription of muscle-specific genes that are essential during myogenesis. This transcription factor forms heterodimers with E-proteins becoming part of DNA-binding complexes that activate the transcription of muscle-specific genes. Myogenin's presence is critical during muscle cell fusion and maturation signifying its importance in proper muscle tissue formation and maintenance. Myogenin staining is often used as a technique to study muscle differentiation in various experimental settings.

Pathways

Myogenin is integrated into the myogenic regulatory network where it activates genes involved in muscle fiber maturation. It participates in the MyoD regulatory pathway working alongside other myogenic regulatory factors like MyoD Myf5 and MRF4. These proteins create a coordinated network ensuring efficient muscle cell differentiation and growth. The cross-talk between myogenin and these factors highlights its role in the intricate web of gene regulation necessary for muscle development.

Associated diseases and disorders

The altered expression or mutation of the myogenin gene has potential implications in muscular dystrophies and myopathies. For instance disruptions in myogenin activity can lead to impaired muscle repair and regeneration contributing to the pathology of conditions such as rhabdomyosarcoma. Within these contexts myogenin associates with other proteins like MyoD whose expression might also be altered further accentuating the disruption in normal muscle differentiation processes during disease states.
