text
  • two RFX5 molecules and one RFXAP molecule assemble in the cytoplasm prior to nuclear localization, a process mediated by an N-terminal "dimerization domain" of RFX5 (RFX5(N)) and a C-terminal domain of RFXAP (RFXAP(C)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • transactivating DNA binding regulatory factor,involved in MHC class II expression
  • DNA binding of RFX5 is inhibited by domains flanking its DNA binding domain, and both RFXAP and RFXANK are required to overcome the inhibition of both domains
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • subunit of the multimeric phosphoprotein complex RFX, containing RFX5, RFXANK, RFXAP
  • forms the heterotrimeric RFX complex together with RFX5 and RFXAP, all are required for expression of MHCII genes
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction between RFX5 and RFXAP promote folding of a poorly structured region of RFXAP, which is required for high affinity binding of RFXB to the RFX5/RFXAP complex
