The gene for PMEL (also known as SILV) is arranged in a head-to-head fashion with another MITF target gene CDK2, and the intergenic region contains E-box elements that have been shown to be bound by MITF in vitro and in vivo to promote expression of both genes (Adachi and Lieber, 2002; Du et al, 2003). MITF-M additionally binds to an E-box element present in intron 1 of the PMEL gene to stimulate gene expression as assessed by reporter assay, Northern analysis, ChIP and EMSA (Baxter and Pavan, 2003; Du et al, 2003; Strub et al, 2011; reviewed in Cheli et al, 2010).
