High impact information on MORF4L2

  • MRGX interacts with Rb through the helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper regions [1].
  • MRGX is a novel transcription factor that is a member of the mortality factor 4 (MORF4)-related gene family [1].
  • Interestingly, MRGX repressed the B-myb promoter in EJ cells (human bladder carcinoma cells), which have a functional Rb, but activated B-myb in HeLa cells (human cervical carcinoma cells), which express a lower amount of Rb [1].
 

Other interactions of MORF4L2

  • This repression and activation was dependent on the helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper regions of the MRGX protein but not the N-terminal region [1].
