Also known as KIAA1819MAM3
Summary
MAML2 (mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 2, HGNC:16259) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q21, encoding Mastermind-like protein 2 (Q8IZL2). Acts as a transcriptional coactivator for NOTCH proteins.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Mastermind-like family of proteins. All family members are proline and glutamine-rich, and contain a conserved basic domain that binds the ankyrin repeat domain of the intracellular domain of the Notch receptors (ICN1-4) in their N-terminus, and a transcriptional activation domain in their C-terminus. This protein binds to an extended groove that is formed by the interaction of CBF1, Suppressor of Hairless, LAG-1 (CSL) with ICN, and positively regulates Notch signaling. High levels of expression of this gene have been observed in several B cell-derived lymphomas. Translocations resulting in fusion proteins with both CRTC1 and CRTC3 have been implicated in the development of mucoepidermoid carcinomas, while a translocation event with CXCR4 has been linked with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Copy number variation in the polyglutamine tract has been observed.

Function. Acts as a transcriptional coactivator for NOTCH proteins. Has been shown to amplify NOTCH-induced transcription of HES1. Potentiates activation by NOTCH3 and NOTCH4 more efficiently than MAML1 or MAML3.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts through its N-terminal region with the ankyrin repeat region of the Notch proteins NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3 and NOTCH4. Forms a DNA-binding complex with Notch proteins and RBPSUH/RBP-J kappa.
Subcellular location. Nucleus speckle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed with high levels detected in placenta, salivary gland and skeletal muscle.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving MAML2 is found in mucoepidermoid carcinomas, benign Warthin tumors and clear cell hidradenomas. Translocation t(11;19)(q21;p13) with CRTC1. The fusion protein consists of the N-terminus of CRTC1 joined to the C-terminus of MAML2. The reciprocal fusion protein consisting of the N-terminus of MAML2 joined to the C-terminus of CRTC1 has been detected in a small number of mucoepidermoid carcinomas.
Domain organisation. The C-terminal domain is required for transcriptional activation.
Similarity. Belongs to the mastermind family.
