Myocyte enhancer binding factor 2B (MEF2B) is a transcription factor part of the MEF2 gene family including MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D.[2][3] However, MEF2B is distant from the other three branches of MEF2 genes as it lacks the protein-coding Holliday junction recognition protein C-terminal (HJURP_C) region in vertebrates.[4]
Functions[edit]
The MEF2 gene family is expressed in muscle-specific gene activation and maintenance during development.[4][5] MEF2B mRNA is present in skeletal, smooth, brain and heart muscles.[6] MEF2B is directly involved in smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMHC) gene regulation. Overexpression of MEF2B will activate the SMHC promoter in smooth muscle when it is bound to the A/T-rich element of the promoter.[6]
Interactions[edit]
MEF2B has been shown to interact with CABIN1.[7][8]
Clinical relevance[edit]
Recurrent mutations in this gene have been associated with cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.[9] In its mutated form, MEF2B can lead to deregulation of the proto-oncogene BCL6 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL).[10] Mutations of MEF2B enhance its transcriptional activity due to either a disruption with its corepressor CABIN1 or causing the gene to become insensitive to inhibitory signaling events.[10]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
