Biological function summary
MafB plays an important role in the regulation of monocyte and macrophage differentiation. It serves as an important regulator that controls genes required for the immune response and terminal differentiation of these cells. MafB often operates as a heterodimer pairing with other transcription factors like Fos and Jun to form complexes that specifically bind to Maf recognition elements in DNA. This binding allows it to orchestrate various transcriptional programs necessary for immune system function and organogenesis.
Pathways
MafB integrates into the larger network of macrophage differentiation and the insulin signaling pathway. It interacts closely with proteins like PU.1 in the macrophage differentiation pathway where it helps specify the lineage commitment of hematopoietic progenitor cells. In the insulin signaling pathway MafB influences genes involved in pancreatic beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis showing its interconnected role in metabolic processes.

General info
Function
Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor (PubMed : 27181683). Plays a pivotal role in regulating lineage-specific hematopoiesis by repressing ETS1-mediated transcription of erythroid-specific genes in myeloid cells. Required for monocytic, macrophage, osteoclast, podocyte and islet beta cell differentiation. Involved in renal tubule survival and F4/80 maturation. Activates the insulin and glucagon promoters. Together with PAX6, transactivates weakly the glucagon gene promoter through the G1 element. SUMO modification controls its transcriptional activity and ability to specify macrophage fate. Binds element G1 on the glucagon promoter (By similarity). Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context. Required for the transcriptional activation of HOXB3 in the rhombomere r5 in the hindbrain (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the bZIP family. Maf subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylated by GSK3 and MAPK13 on serine and threonine residues.. Sumoylated. Sumoylation on Lys-32 and Lys-297 stimulates its transcriptional repression activity and promotes macrophage differentiation from myeloid progenitors (By similarity).
