Descriptions

NFAT1 plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells. NFAT transcription factors are highly phosphorylated proteins that are regulated by the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin. NFAT1 is phosphorylated on fourteen conserved phosphoserine residues in its regulatory domain (100-400), thirteen of which are dephosphorylated upon stimulation. Dephosphorylation of all thirteen residues is required to mask a nuclear export signal (NES), causes full exposure of a nuclear localization signal (NLS), and promotes transcriptional activity. Mutations in the serine-rich region (SRR-1, specifically 170-183) enhances the localization of NFAT1 to the nucleus, while the full-length NFAT1 does not move into the nucleus. This represents that the SRR-1 region inhibits the translocation of NFAT1 to the nucleus. In addition, SRR-1 region also regulates the active conformation of NFAT1.

Functions

Description
EC Number
Subcellular Localization
  • Cytoplasm
  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation
  • Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals
  • Translocation to the nucleus is increased in the presence of calcium in pre-osteoblasts (By similarity)
  • The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription
  • Nuclear translocation OF NFATC1 is enhanced in the presence of TNFSF11
  • Nuclear translocation is decreased in the presence of FBN1 which can bind and sequester TNFSF11

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
transcription regulator complex A protein complex that is capable of associating with DNA by direct binding, or via other DNA-binding proteins or complexes, and regulating transcription.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific A DNA-binding transcription factor activity that modulates the transcription of specific gene sets transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding Binding to a specific upstream regulatory DNA sequence (transcription factor recognition sequence or binding site) located in cis relative to the transcription start site (i.e., on the same strand of DNA) of a gene transcribed by RNA polymerase II.

2 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade Any intracellular signal transduction in which the signal is passed on within the cell by activation of a member of the NFAT protein family as a consequence of NFAT dephosphorylation by Ca(2+)-activated calcineurin. The cascade begins with calcium-dependent activation of the phosphatase calcineurin. Calcineurin dephosphorylates multiple phosphoserine residues on NFAT, resulting in the translocation of NFAT to the nucleus. The cascade ends with regulation of transcription by NFAT. The calcineurin-NFAT cascade lies downstream of many cell surface receptors, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that signal to mobilize calcium ions (Ca2+).
regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription mediated by RNA polymerase II.
