    text structure
  • in the -839/-639promoter region a PARP1 binding site, and transcriptional activity of ACP5, in pre-osteoclastic cells, is negatively regulated by the binding of PARP1 protein to a potential consensus sequence located in its promoter region
  • promoter contains a STAT6-binding motif, and STAT6 bound to the endogenous ACP5 promoter after IL4 treatment

  • also called TRACP5b
  • its activity is a marker for osteoclast number and perhaps local or systemic bone destruction

    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the conversion of orthophosphoric monoester to alcohol and orthophosphate
  • has an important role in the presentation of antigens to T cells
  • important for polarizing responses in na
  • ve T cells to antigen-presented dendritic cells
  • essential for normal skeletal development, and has an important role in the metabolism of collagen
  • acid phosphatase, having a dual role and involved in the regulation of the biological activity of the bone matrix phosphoproteins osteopontin and bone sialoprotein and the intracellular collagen degradation
  • role in regulating osteoclast migration on post-translationally modified SPP1

  • disulfide-linked two-subunit structure
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding, cofactor,
  • two iron Fe2+
  • protein
  • interacting with OPN and BSP
  • link between ACP5 activity and interferon metabolism, emphasizing the importance of the type I interferon response in autoimmunity
  • NFATC1 is a key transcription factor, playing a role in regulating expression of osteoclast-specific downstream target genes such as ACP5 and OSCAR
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    activated by STAT6 (in the absence of TNFSF11 and osteoclast differentiation, STAT6 binds the ACP5 promoter after IL4 treatment and directly enhances its expression)
    repressed by IL4 (down-regulates expression of ACP5 in mature osteoclasts)
