Embryogenesis is a period during which cells are exposed to dynamic changes of various
intracellular and extracellular stresses. Oxidative stress response genes are regulated by …

While small Maf proteins have been suggested to be essential for the Nrf2-mediated
activation of antioxidant response element (ARE)-dependent genes, the extent of their …

The small MAFs, MAFF, MAFG and MAFK have emerged as crucial regulators of mammalian
gene expression. Previous studies have linked small MAF function, by virtue of their …

Small Maf proteins are obligatory heterodimeric partner molecules of mammalian
Cap'n'Collar proteins that together control a wide variety of eukaryotic genes. Although both …

ABSTRACT A group of cytoprotective genes is regulated by heterodimers composed of the
cap'n'collar (CNC) family member Nrf2 and one of the small Maf (sMaf) proteins (MafF, MafG …

The small Maf proteins (MafG, MafK, and MafF), which serve as heterodimeric partner
molecules of CNC family proteins for binding in vitro to MARE sites, have been implicated in …

Nrf1 and Nrf2 (NF‐E2‐related factors 1 and 2, respectively) are transcription factors that
belong to the Cap'n'collar (CNC) family and play critical roles in various tissues, including …

Recent progress in the analysis of transcriptional regulation has revealed the presence of an
exquisite functional network comprising the Maf and Cap'n'collar (CNC) families of …

Nrf2 accumulates in nuclei upon exposure to oxidative stress, heterodimerizes with a small
Maf protein, and activates the transcription of stress target genes through antioxidant …

Nrf1 is a member of the CNC-basic leucine zipper (CNC-bZIP) family of transcription factors.
CNC bZIP factors, together with small Maf proteins, bind as heterodimers to the NF-E2/AP-1 …
