RN [2] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA] OF 292-401, AND DISEASE. RX PubMed=9480987; DOI=10.1084/jem.187.5.775; RA Weilbaecher K.N., Hershey C.L., Takemoto C.M., Horstmann M.A., RA Hemesath T.J., Tashjian A.H., Fisher D.E.; RT "Age-resolving osteopetrosis: a rat model implicating microphthalmia and RT the related transcription factor TFE3."; RL J. Exp. Med. 187:775-785(1998). CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes CC with essential roles in cell differentiation, proliferation and CC survival. Binds to M-boxes (5'-TCATGTG-3') and symmetrical DNA CC sequences (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the promoters of target CC genes, such as BCL2 and tyrosinase (TYR). Plays an important role in CC melanocyte development by regulating the expression of tyrosinase (TYR) CC and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1). Plays a critical role in the CC differentiation of various cell types, such as neural crest-derived CC melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal CC pigment epithelium. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer or heterodimer; dimerization is mediated via the CC coiled coil region (By similarity). Efficient DNA binding requires CC dimerization with another bHLH protein (By similarity). Binds DNA in CC the form of homodimer or heterodimer with either TFE3, TFEB or TFEC (By CC similarity). Identified in a complex with HINT1 and CTNNB1 (By CC similarity). Interacts with KARS1 (By similarity). Interacts with VSX2 CC (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030, CC ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q08874}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. Cytoplasm CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. Note=Found exclusively in the nucleus CC upon phosphorylation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. CC -!- DOMAIN: The leucine zipper region is part of a larger coiled coil. CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. CC -!- PTM: Phosphorylation at Ser-405 significantly enhances the ability to CC bind the tyrosinase promoter (By similarity). Phosphorylated at Ser-180 CC and Ser-516 following KIT signaling, triggering a short live CC activation: Phosphorylation at Ser-180 and Ser-516 by MAPK and RPS6KA1, CC respectively, activate the transcription factor activity but also CC promote ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome (By CC similarity). Phosphorylated in response to blue light (415nm) (By CC similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. CC -!- PTM: Ubiquitinated following phosphorylation at Ser-180, leading to CC subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Deubiquitinated by USP13, CC preventing its degradation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O75030}. CC -!- DISEASE: Note=Osteopetrotic rat of unknown genetic defect CC microphthalmia-blanc (mib) has been described whose skeletal sclerosis CC improves dramatically with age and that is associated with pigmentation CC defects. Mib at the homozygous state shows absence of skin and fur CC pigmentation, small eyes, and defects of incisor tooth eruption. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9480987}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MiT/TFE family. {ECO:0000305}.
