Function
Interferon (IFN)-inducible GTPase that plays important roles in innate immunity against a diverse range of bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens (By similarity). Hydrolyzes GTP, but in contrast to other family members, does not produce GMP (PubMed:20180847). Following infection, recruited to the pathogen-containing vacuoles or vacuole-escaped bacteria and acts as a positive regulator of inflammasome assembly by promoting the release of inflammasome ligands from bacteria (By similarity). Acts by promoting lysis of pathogen-containing vacuoles, releasing pathogens into the cytosol (By similarity). Following pathogen release in the cytosol, promotes recruitment of proteins that mediate bacterial cytolysis: this liberates ligands that are detected by inflammasomes, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that activates the non-canonical CASP4/CASP11 inflammasome or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that activates the AIM2 inflammasome (By similarity). As an activator of NLRP3 inflammasome assembly: promotes selective NLRP3 inflammasome assembly in response to microbial and soluble, but not crystalline, agents (PubMed:22461501). Independently of its GTPase activity, acts as an inhibitor of various viruses infectivity, such as HIV-1, Zika and influenza A viruses, by inhibiting FURIN-mediated maturation of viral envelope proteins (PubMed:26996307, PubMed:31091448). Antigenic tumor-specific truncated splice form.

Supplementary info

- Activity summary
GBP5 or Guanylate Binding Protein 5 serves an important role in the immune response particularly within the innate immune system. GBP5 is a GTPase with a molecular mass of approximately 71 kDa. It expresses in a variety of tissues including immune cells like macrophages and lymphocytes. Its mechanical function involves binding to guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and converting it to guanosine diphosphate (GDP) a process which then triggers further downstream immune responses.
- Biological function summary
GBP5 acts in immune defense against intracellular pathogens. It forms part of a multiprotein complex that can directly target and destroy bacterial membranes. GBP5 enhances the cell-autonomous immunity by promoting inflammasome activation which boosts cytokine production leading to a stronger inflammatory response. Its activity reflects in the ability of immune cells to restrict the growth of certain pathogens hence forming an important part of the host defense mechanism.
- Pathways
GBP5 is part of the interferon-gamma signaling pathway. This pathway engages in regulating immune responses during infections particularly by modulating the activity of other immune-related proteins such as GBP1 and GBP2. GBP5 links to the NF-kB pathway as well where it helps regulation of inflammatory responses. The efficient functioning of these pathways ensures that immune responses remain robust and effective against pathogens.
- Associated diseases and disorders
GBP5 is linked to tuberculosis and Crohn’s disease. Its role in immune responses impacts how efficiently the body can deal with intracellular mycobacterial infections typical of tuberculosis. In Crohn’s disease GBP5 associates with inflammatory processes that drive pathology. Through these conditions GBP5 often interfaces with proteins like NOD2 which shares a similar role in recognizing and responding to microbial components.
