Template:PBB X-box binding protein 1, also known as XBP1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the XBP1 gene.[1][2] The XBP1 gene is located on chromosome 22 while a closely related pseudogene has been identified and localized to chromosome 5.[3] The XBP1 protein is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes important to the proper functioning of the immune system and in the cellular stress response.[4]

Discovery

The X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) is a transcription factor containing a bZIP domain. It was first identified by its ability to bind to the X-box, a conserved transcriptional element in the promoter of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR alpha.[2]

Function

MHC class II gene regulation

The expression of this protein is required for the transcription of a subset of class II major histocompatibility genes.[5] Furthermore Xbp1 heterodimerizes with other bZIP transcription factors such as c-fos.[5]

Xbp1 expression is controlled by the cytokine IL-4 and the antibody IGHM.[6] Xbp1 in turn controls the expression of IL-6 which promotes plasma cell growth and of immunoglobulins in B lymphocytes.[6]

Plasma cell differentiation

XBP-1 is also essential for differentiation of plasma cells (a type of antibody secreting immune cell).[6] This differentiation requires not only the expression of XBP-1 but the expression of the spliced isoform of XBP-1s. XBP-1 regulates plasma cell differentiation independent of its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response (see below).[7] Without normal expression of XBP-1, two important plasma cell differentiation-related genes, IRF4 and Blimp1, are misregulated, and XBP-1-lacking plasma cells fail to colonize their long-lived niches in the bone marrow and to sustain antibody secretion.[7]

Viral replication

This protein has also been identified as a cellular transcription factor that binds to an enhancer in the promoter of the T cell leukemia virus type 1 promoter. The generation of XBP-1s during plasma cell differentiation also seems to be the cue for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Epstein Barr virus reactivation from latency.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress response

XBP-1 is part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, the unfolded protein response (UPR).[6] Conditions that exceed capacity of the ER provoke ER stress and trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR). As a result GRP78 is released from IRE1 to support protein folding.[8] IRE1 oligomerises and activates its ribonuclease domain through auto (self) phosphorylation. Activated IRE1 catalyses the excision of a 26 nucleotide unconventional intron from ubiquitously expressed XBP-1u mRNA, in a manner mechanistically similar to pre-tRNA splicing. Removal of this intron causes a frame shift in the XBP-1 coding sequence resulting in the translation of a 376 amino acid, 54 kDa, XBP-1s isoform rather than the 261 amino acid, 33 kDa, XBP-1u isoform. Moreover the XBP-1u/XBP-1s ratio (XBP-1-unspliced/xbp-1-spliced ratio) correlates with the expression level of expressed proteins in order to adapt the folding capacity of the ER to the respective requirements.[9]

Clinical significance

Abnormalities in XBP1 lead to a heightened ER stress and subsequently causes a heightened susceptibility for inflammatory processes that may contribute to Alzheimer's disease.[10] In the colon, XBP1 anomalies have been linked to Crohn's disease.[11]

A single nucleotide polymorphism, C-116G, in the promoter region of XBP1 has been examined for possible association with personality traits. None was found.[12]

Interactions

XBP1 has been shown to interact with estrogen receptor alpha.[13]
