MAFF Interacting Protein (MAFIP)
The human transcription factor MafF (hMafF) lacks a transactivation domain, it contains a heptad-leucine repeat motif (viz., Leu-zipper) that may mediate protein-protein interactions to regulate transcriptional activities. A protein with a coiled-coil domain encoded by a novel human gene (GenBank Accession No. AF289559) was found to interact with hMafF in vitro and in vivo and is designated as a MafF interacting protein (MIP).
Expression of hMafF or MIP alone did not alter basal reporter transcription activity, whereas co-expression of hMafF and MIP activated transcription efficiently. Moreover, truncated MIP, still containing the coiled-coil domain, transactivated as well as the full-length MIP did, and highlighting that MIP acts as a co-activator of hMafF.
