== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MAFB_MOUSE MAFB_MOUSE] Acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor. Plays a pivotal role in regulating lineage-specific hematopoiesis by repressing ETS1-mediated transcription of erythroid-specific genes in myeloid cells. Required for monocytic, macrophage, podocyte and islet beta cell differentiation. Involved in renal tubule survival and F4/80 maturation. Activates the insulin and glucagon promoters. Together with PAX6, transactivates weakly the glucagon gene promoter through the G1 element. SUMO modification controls its transcriptional activity and ability to specify macrophage fate. Binds element G1 on the glucagon promoter. Involved either as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor, depending on the cell context.<ref>PMID:10790365</ref> <ref>PMID:16443760</ref> <ref>PMID:16847325</ref> <ref>PMID:17901057</ref> <ref>PMID:17548468</ref> <ref>PMID:18199433</ref> <ref>PMID:19143053</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The MafB transcription factor (residues 211-305) has been overexpressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. A protein-DNA complex between the MafB homodimer and the 21 bp Maf-recognition sequence known as Cmare has been successfully reconstituted in vitro and subsequently crystallized. The diffraction properties of the protein-DNA complex crystals were improved using a combination of protein-construct boundary optimization and targeted mutagenesis to promote crystal lattice stability. Both native and mercury-derivatized crystals have been prepared using these optimized conditions. The crystals belong to space group P4(1)2(1)2 or P4(3)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 94.8, c = 197.9 A. An anomalous difference Patterson map computed using data collected from crystals grown in the presence of HgCl(2) reveals four peaks. This corresponds to two copies of the protein-DNA complex in the asymmetric unit, with a solvent content of 62% and a Matthews coefficient of 3.22 A(3) Da(-1).
