Function Transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of melanocyte survival and differentiation as well as melanosome biogenesis (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Binds to M-boxes (5'-TCATGTG-3') and symmetrical DNA sequences (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the promoter of pigmentation genes, such as tyrosinase (TYR) (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Involved in the cellular response to amino acid availability by acting downstream of MTOR: in the presence of nutrients, MITF phosphorylation by MTOR promotes its inactivation (PubMed:36608670). Upon starvation or lysosomal stress, inhibition of MTOR induces MITF dephosphorylation, resulting in transcription factor activity (PubMed:36608670). Plays an important role in melanocyte development by regulating the expression of tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758). Plays a critical role in the differentiation of various cell types, such as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelium (PubMed:10587587, PubMed:22647378, PubMed:27889061, PubMed:9647758).
Subellular location Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Lysosome membrane . Note=When nutrients are present, recruited to the lysosomal membrane via association with GDP-bound RagC/RRAGC (or RagD/RRAGD): it is then phosphorylated by MTOR (PubMed:23401004, PubMed:36608670). Phosphorylation by MTOR promotes ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:36608670). Conversely, inhibition of mTORC1, starvation and lysosomal disruption, promotes dephosphorylation and translocation to the nucleus (PubMed:36608670). Phosphorylation by MARK3/cTAK1 promotes association with 14-3-3/YWHA adapters and retention in the cytosol (PubMed:16822840).
Tissues Expressed in melanocytes (at protein level).; [Isoform A2]: Expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium, brain, and placenta (PubMed:9647758). Expressed in the kidney (PubMed:10578055, PubMed:9647758).; [Isoform C2]: Expressed in the kidney and retinal pigment epithelium.; [Isoform H1]: Expressed in the kidney.; [Isoform H2]: Expressed in the kidney.; [Isoform M1]: Expressed in melanocytes.; [Isoform Mdel]: Expressed in melanocytes.
Structure Homodimer or heterodimer; dimerization is mediated via the coiled coil region (PubMed:24631970). Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein (PubMed:14975237). Binds DNA in the form of homodimer or heterodimer with either TFE3, TFEB or TFEC (PubMed:15507434). Interacts with small GTPases Rag (RagA/RRAGA, RagB/RRAGB, RagC/RRAGC and/or RagD/RRAGD); promoting its recruitment to lysosomal membrane in the presence of nutrients (PubMed:23401004, PubMed:36608670). Interacts with KARS1 (PubMed:14975237). Identified in a complex with HINT1 and CTNNB1 (PubMed:22647378). Interacts with VSX2 (By similarity).
Post-translational modification PTM: When nutrients are present, phosphorylation by MTOR at Ser-5 via non-canonical mTORC1 pathway promotes ubiquitination by the SCF(BTRC) complex, followed by degradation (PubMed:36608670). Phosphorylation at Ser-405 significantly enhances the ability to bind the tyrosinase promoter (PubMed:10587587). Phosphorylation by MARK3/cTAK1 at Ser-280 promotes association with 14-3-3/YWHA adapters and retention in the cytosol (PubMed:16822840). Phosphorylated at Ser-180 and Ser-516 following KIT signaling, triggering a short live activation: Phosphorylation at Ser-180 and Ser-516 by MAPK and RPS6KA1, respectively, activate the transcription factor activity but also promote ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:10673502). Phosphorylated in response to blue light (415nm) (PubMed:28842328).; PTM: Ubiquitinated by the SCF(BTRC) and SCF(FBXW11) complexes following phosphorylation ar Ser-5 by MTOR, leading to its degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:36608670). Ubiquitinated following phosphorylation at Ser-180, leading to subsequent degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:10673502). Deubiquitinated by USP13, preventing its degradation (PubMed:10673502).

Involvement in disease Waardenburg syndrome 2A (WS2A) [MIM:193510]: WS2 is a genetically heterogeneous, autosomal dominant disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness, pigmentary disturbances, and absence of dystopia canthorum. The frequency of deafness is higher in WS2 than in WS1. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.; Tietz albinism-deafness syndrome (TADS) [MIM:103500]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by generalized hypopigmentation and congenital, bilateral, profound sensorineural deafness. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.; Melanoma, cutaneous malignant 8 (CMM8) [MIM:614456]: A malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign nevus, which occurs most often in the skin but may also involve other sites. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.; Coloboma, osteopetrosis, microphthalmia, macrocephaly, albinism, and deafness (COMMAD) [MIM:617306]: An autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by severe microphthalmia, profound congenital sensorineural hearing loss, lack of pigment in the hair, skin, and eyes, macrocephaly, facial dysmorphism, and osteopetrosis. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. An allelic combination involving at least one dominant-negative mutation, inherited in a recessive manner, represents the underlying molecular mechanism leading to COMMAD syndrome.; Note=Variations affecting this gene are associated with susceptibility to pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, rare neural crest-derived tumors with an approximate incidence of 1:300,000/year.
