None:
MiT/TFE family of transcription factors, including MiTF, TFE3, TFEB, and TFEC genes, control transcriptional programs for autophagy and lysosome biogenesis and regulate energy metabolism in many cancers. Chromosomal translocations and amplifications involving the MiT/TFE genes contribute to the etiology and pathophysiology of renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, sarcomas, and many other tumors. Understanding the roles of MiT/TFE factors in cellular homeostasis, oncogenic, and stress-adaptive regulation through transcriptionally regulated pathways may reveal new strategies for cancer diagnostics, prognostication, and treatment.

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
