Calcineurin activation influences muscle phenotype in a muscle-specific fashion (2004)

Talmadge, Robert J, Otis, Jeffrey S, Rittler, Matthew R, Garcia, Nicole D, Spencer, Shelly R, Lees, Simon J, ...

Abstract Background The calcium activated protein phosphatase 2B, also known as calcineurin, has been implicated as a cell signaling molecule involved with transduction of physiological signals (free...

The basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor BETA2/NeuroD is expressed in mammalian enteroendocrine cells and activates secretin gene expression

Mutoh, Hiroyuki, Fung, Brenda P., Naya, Francisco J., Tsai, Ming-Jer, Nishitani, Junko, Leiter, Andrew B.

The gene encoding the hormone secretin is expressed only in enteroendocrine S cells and insulin-producing pancreatic β cells during development. A 120-bp enhancer directs cell-specific expression of...

Activation of MEF2 by muscle activity is mediated through a calcineurin-dependent pathway

Wu, Hai, Rothermel, Beverly, Kanatous, Shane, Rosenberg, Paul, Naya, Francisco J., Shelton, John M., ...

Gene expression in skeletal muscles of adult vertebrates is altered profoundly by changing patterns of contractile work. Here we observed that the functional activity of MEF2 transcription factors is...

MEF2 responds to multiple calcium-regulated signals in the control of skeletal muscle fiber type

Wu, Hai, Naya, Francisco J., McKinsey, Timothy A., Mercer, Brian, Shelton, John M., Chin, Eva R., ...

Different patterns of motor nerve activity drive distinctive programs of gene transcription in skeletal muscles, thereby establishing a high degree of metabolic and physiological specialization among...

CaM kinase signaling induces cardiac hypertrophy and activates the MEF2 transcription factor in vivo

Passier, Robert, Zeng, Hong, Frey, Norbert, Naya, Francisco J., Nicol, Rebekka L., McKinsey, Timothy A., ...

Hypertrophic growth is an adaptive response of the heart to diverse pathological stimuli and is characterized by cardiomyocyte enlargement, sarcomere assembly, and activation of a fetal program of...

Diabetes, defective pancreatic morphogenesis, and abnormal enteroendocrine differentiation in BETA2/NeuroD-deficient mice

Naya, Francisco J., Huang, Hsiang-Po, Qiu, Yuhong, Mutoh, Hiroyuki, DeMayo, Francesco J., Leiter, Andrew B., ...

Candidate transcription factors involved in pancreatic endocrine development have been isolated using insulin gene regulation as a paradigm. The cell-type restricted basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH)...

The basic helix–loop–helix protein BETA2 interacts with p300 to coordinate differentiation of secretin-expressing enteroendocrine cells

Mutoh, Hiroyuki, Naya, Francisco J., Tsai, Ming-Jer, Leiter, Andrew B.

The major epithelial cell types lining the intestine comprise a perpetually self-renewing population of cells that differentiate continuously from a stem cell in the intestinal crypts....
