This gene encodes a nuclear protein that belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors and the myogenic factors subfamily. It regulates muscle cell differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest, a prerequisite for myogenic initiation. The protein is also involved in muscle regeneration. It activates its own transcription which may stabilize commitment to myogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

蛋白名
Myoblast determination protein 1
亚基
Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Seems to form active heterodimers with ITF-2. Interacts with SUV39H1 and CDK9. Interacts with DDX5 (By similarity).
亚细胞定位
Nucleus.
翻译后修饰
Phosphorylated by CDK9. This phosphorylation promotes its function in muscle differentiation. Acetylated by a complex containing EP300 and PCAF. The acetylation is essential to activate target genes. Conversely, its deacetylation by SIRT1 inhibits its function (By similarity). Ubiquitinated on the N-terminus; which is required for proteasomal degradation.
相似性
Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain.
功能
Involved in muscle differentiation (myogenic factor). Induces fibroblasts to differentiate into myoblasts. Activates muscle-specific promoters. Interacts with and is inhibited by the twist protein. This interaction probably involves the basic domains of both proteins (By similarity).
