Function
Transcriptional activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element, 5'-YTA[AT](4)TAR-3', found in numerous muscle-specific, growth factor- and stress-induced genes. Mediates cellular functions not only in skeletal and cardiac muscle development, but also in neuronal differentiation and survival. Plays diverse roles in the control of cell growth, survival and apoptosis via p38 MAPK signaling in muscle-specific and/or growth factor-related transcription. Plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal apoptosis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the MEF2 family.
Contains 1 MADS-box domain.
Contains 1 Mef2-type DNA-binding domain. -
Developmental stage
Present in myotubes and also in undifferentiated myoblasts. -
Domain
The beta domain, missing in a number of isoforms, is required for enhancement of transcriptional activity. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on Ser-444 by CDK5 is required for Lys-439 sumoylation and inhibits transcriptional activity. In neurons, enhanced CDK5 activity induced by neurotoxins promotes caspase 3-mediated cleavage leading to neuron apoptosis. Phsophorylation on Ser-180 can be enhanced by EGF.
Acetylated on Lys-439 by CREBBP. Deacetylated by SIRT1.
Sumoylated on Lys-439 by SUMO2 but not SUMO1; which inhibits transcriptional activity and myogenic activity. Desumoylated by SENP3.
Proteolytically cleaved in cerebellar granule neurons on several sites by caspase 7 following neurotoxicity. Preferentially cleaves the CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylated form which leads to neuron apoptosis and transcriptional inactivation. -
Cellular localization
Nucleus. Translocated by HDAC4 to nuclear dots. - Information by UniProt

Predicted band size: 56 kDa
Observed band size: 67 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?False colour image of Western blot: Anti-MEF2D antibody [EPR24993-10] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab282731 was shown to bind specifically to MEF2D. A band was observed at 67 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in mef2d CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab281636. The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 67 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of MEF2D. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and mef2d CRISPR-Cas9 edited HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
