disease:Chromosomal aberrations involving TFE3 are recurrent in alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) [MIM:606243]. Translocation t(X;17)(p11;q25) with ASPSCR1 forms a ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion protein.,disease:Chromosomal aberrations involving TFE3 are recurrent in alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). Translocation t(X;17)(p11;q25) with ASPSCR1 forms a ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion protein.,disease:Chromosomal aberrations involving TFE3 may be a cause of papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) [MIM:605074]. Translocation t(X;1)(p11.2;q21.2) with PRCC; translocation t(X;1)(p11.2;p34) with PSF; inversion inv(X)(p11.2;q12) that fuses NONO to TFE3.,function:Positive-acting transcription factor that binds to the immunoglobulin enchancer MUE3 motif. It also binds very well to a USF/MLTF site. Binding of TFE3 to DNA induces DNA binding.,similarity:Belongs to the MiT/TFE family.,similarity:Contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain.,subunit:Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous in fetal and adult tissues.,
Cytoplasm, cytosol . Nucleus . When nutrients are present, phosphorylation by MTOR prevents nuclear translocation and activity (PubMed:22692423, PubMed:30733432). Conversely, inhibition of mTORC1, starvation and lysosomal disruption, promotes dephosphorylation and translocation to the nucleus (PubMed:22692423, PubMed:30733432). .
