Function

Transcriptional regulator with a major role in neural stem cell commitment and corticogenesis as well as in lymphoid cell development and lymphoid tissue organogenesis (By similarity). Binds to GC-rich DNA sequences in the proximity of transcription start sites and may alter chromatin structure, modifying access of transcription factors to DNA. During cortical development, controls the neural stem cell pool by inhibiting the switch from proliferative to differentiating progenitors. Beyond progenitor cells, promotes neurite outgrowth in newborn neurons migrating to reach the cortical plate. May activate or repress critical genes for neural stem cell fate such as SOX2, EOMES and ROBO2 (By similarity). Plays an essential role in the development of lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi) cells, a subset necessary for the formation of secondary lymphoid organs: peripheral lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. Acts as a developmental checkpoint and regulates thymocyte positive selection toward T cell lineage commitment. Required for the development of various T cell subsets, including CD4-positive helper T cells, CD8-positive cytotoxic T cells, regulatory T cells and CD1D-dependent natural killer T (NKT) cells. Required for the differentiation of common lymphoid progenitors (CMP) to innate lymphoid cells (ILC) (By similarity). May regulate the NOTCH-mediated gene program, promoting differentiation of the ILC lineage. Required at the progenitor phase of NK cell development in the bone marrow to specify NK cell lineage commitment (By similarity) (PubMed:21126536). Upon chronic antigen stimulation, diverts T cell development by promoting the generation of exhaustive T cells, while suppressing effector and memory T cell programming. May regulate the expression of genes encoding inhibitory receptors such as PDCD1 and induce the exhaustion program, to prevent the overstimulation of T cells and activation-induced cell death (By similarity).

Activity summary

The TOX gene encodes the TOX protein also known as Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group (HMG) box protein with a molecular weight of approximately 57 kDa. TOX contains a DNA-binding HMG box domain and operates mechanically as a transcription factor. It expresses mainly in the thymus where it plays a significant role in T cell development. TOX also exhibits expression in lymphoid tissues including the spleen and lymph nodes.

Biological function summary

TOX affects T cell maturation and development particularly during thymocyte selection. The protein contributes critically to the decision-making process that determines whether thymocytes become CD4+ or CD8+ T cells. TOX does not assemble into a known complex but interacts with other developmental transcription factors to influence gene expression patterns in immature T cells. Its expression is tightly regulated to ensure proper immune system development.

Pathways

TOX influences key signal transduction pathways that guide T cell lineage development. It integrates into the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling pathway impacting the expression of genes essential for T cell differentiation. TOX interacts with signaling proteins like Notch1 which affects developmental fate decisions in thymocytes. The balance of these pathways maintains immunity homeostasis and correct immune responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

TOX links to conditions involving immune dysregulation such as autoimmune diseases and certain lymphomas. Aberrant expression or dysfunction of TOX may contribute to improper immune cell development leading to pathologies like T cell leukemia. In autoimmune diseases altered TOX levels may impact self-tolerance involving proteins such as FOXP3 which governs regulatory T cell function. Understanding TOX's role in these diseases broadens insights into potential therapeutic targets for immune-related diseases.
