Function

Transcription factor involved, among others, in the transcriptional regulation of osmoprotective and inflammatory genes. Binds the DNA consensus sequence 5'-[ACT][AG]TGGAAA[CAT]A[TA][ATC][CA][ATG][GT][GAC][CG][CT]-3' (PubMed:10377394). Mediates the transcriptional response to hypertonicity (PubMed:10051678). Positively regulates the transcription of LCN2 and S100A4 genes; optimal transactivation of these genes requires the presence of DDX5/DDX17 (PubMed:22266867). Also involved in the DNA damage response by preventing formation of R-loops; R-loops are composed of a DNA:RNA hybrid and the associated non-template single-stranded DNA (PubMed:34049076).

Activity summary

NFAT5 also known as TonEBP (tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein) is a transcription factor belonging to the nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) family. It is involved in mechanistic functions through its role in the osmoregulatory mechanism aiding cells to adapt to changes in osmotic stress by regulating gene expression related to maintaining ionic and osmotic balance. NFAT5 has a molecular mass of approximately 170 kDa and is primarily expressed in kidney medulla cells where osmotic stress is prevalent.

Biological function summary

NFAT5 helps regulate the cellular response to hypertonic stress in several tissues including the kidneys brain and immune cells. It acts as a transcriptional activator that induces the expression of osmoprotective genes such as the sodium/myo-inositol transporter and aldose reductase. NFAT5 functions not as part of a larger complex but as an independent transcription factor which directly binds to enhancers within target gene promotors playing a critical role in cellular adaptation to hyperosmotic conditions.

Pathways

NFAT5 plays a significant role in the hypertonicity-induced signaling pathway and the osmoprotective pathway. Through these it influences key cellular processes by modulating the transcription of genes necessary for adaptation to osmotic stress. It stands in relation to other NFAT family members like NFATc1 and NFATc2 but distinctively differs as it does not rely directly on calcium and calcineurin for its activation unlike its relatives involved in the calcineurin/NFAT pathway.

Associated diseases and disorders

NFAT5 has implications in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. It's involved in cellular responses to hypertonic stress in various disease states notably influencing the vascular smooth muscle cell function in hypertension. Additionally NFAT5's regulation of osmoprotective genes connects it to metabolic disorders like diabetes where osmotic stress responses are disturbed. Interactions between NFAT5 and other proteins like TFEB (Transcription Factor EB) occur during conditions related to metabolic disorders indicating its broad relevance in stress-related pathologies.

  • Immunoprecipitation - Anti-NFAT5 antibody (ab3446), expandable thumbnail

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-NFAT5 antibody (ab3446)

    Immunoprecipitation of NFAT5 was performed on U-2 OS (Human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line) whole cell lysate (lane 2). The antigen:antibody complex was formed by incubating 500 μg whole cell lysate with 3 μg of ab3446 overnight on a rocking platform at 4°C. The immune-complex was captured on 50 μL Protein A/G Plus Agarose. Captured immune-complexes were washed and proteins eluted with 5X Reducing Sample Loading Dye. Samples were resolved on a 4-20% Tris-HCl polyacrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% Milk/TBS-0.1%Tween for at least 1 hour. Membranes were washed in TBS-0.1%Tween 20 and probed with a goat anti-rabbit-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1/20,000 for at least one hour. Membranes were washed and chemiluminescent detection performed.

    Lane 1: Only cell lysate.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-NFAT5 antibody (ab3446)

    Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal biopsies of deparaffinized human skeletal muscle tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1/20 duution with ab3446 or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.
