Transcriptional activator that binds to DNA sequences containing the consensus 5'-WGGA-3'. Transactivates promoters of the hematopoietic growth factor genes CSF2, IL3, IL8, and of the bovine lysozyme gene. Acts synergistically with RUNX1 to transactivate the IL3 promoter. Also transactivates the PRF1 promoter in natural killer (NK) cells. Plays a role in the development and function of NK and NK T-cells and in innate immunity. Controls the proliferation and homing of CD8+ T-cells via the Kruppel-like factors KLF4 and KLF2. Controls cell senescence in a p53-dependent manner. Can also promote cellular transformation through inhibition of the p16 pathway.

The p53-MDM2-MEF axis is a feedback mechanism that exquisitely controls the balance of these transcriptional regulators. PMID: 25081543
These studies implicate MEF as a previously unrecognized gatekeeper gene in gliomagenesis that promotes stem cell characteristics through Sox2 activation. PMID: 23217424
enhanced HDM2 expression induced by mutant NPM1 may have a role in MEF/ELF4-dependent leukemogenesis PMID: 23393136
MEF is involved in PTH suppression of osteoblasts through activating the MKK4/JNK1 pathway and subsequently up-regulating Mab21l1 expression. PMID: 21465527
Loss of ELF4 leads to increased quiescence in bone marrow endothelial cells by the deregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase-4 expression and to enhanced regeneration of sinusoidal blood vessels. PMID: 21350194

MEF is an important regulator of IL-8 expression PMID: 14625302
promyelocytic leukemia protein, but not Sp100, induced the accumulation of MEF in PML nuclear bodies and MEF and PML physically interacted, stimulating MEF transcriptional activity, resulting in the up-regulation of endogenous lysozyme expression. PMID: 14976184
RT-PCR analysis of RNA isolated from bone marrow samples from the patient demonstrates that the translocation occurs within intron 1 of ERG isoform 1 and intron 2 of ELF4 resulting in an in-frame fusion joining exon 2 from ELF4 with exon 2 of ERG. PMID: 16303180

Involvement in disease
A chromosomal aberration involving ELF4 has been found in a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Translocation t(X;21)(q25-26;q22) with ERG.
Subcellular Location
Nucleus, PML body. Note=Accumulation into PML nuclear bodies is mediated by PML.
Protein Families
ETS family
Tissue Specificity
Abundantly expressed in the placenta and in a variety of myeloid leukemia cell lines. Moderate levels of expression in heart, lung, spleen, thymus, peripheral blood lymphocytes, ovary and colon. Lower levels of expression in Jurkat T-cells and other T-cel
