Descriptions

PYPAF1 (PYRIN-containing Apaf1-like protein 1) is a novel PYRIN-containing signaling protein that belongs to the nucleotide-binding site/leucine-rich repeat (NBS/LRR) family of signaling proteins. C-terminal leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) may function as a negative regulator of PYPAF1 activity. PYPAF1 and ASC function to regulate the activation of NF-B.

Functions

Description
EC Number
Subcellular Localization
  • Cytoplasm, cytosol
  • Inflammasome
  • Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center
  • Golgi apparatus membrane
  • Endoplasmic reticulum
  • Mitochondrion
  • Secreted
  • Nucleus
  • In macrophages, under resting conditions, mainly located in the cytosol and on membranes of various organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi: forms an inactive double-ring cage that is primarily localized on membranes
  • Upon activation, NLRP3 is transported to microtubule organizing center (MTOC), where it is unlocked by NEK7, leading to its relocalization to dispersed trans-Golgi network (dTGN) vesicle membranes for the formation of an active inflammasome complex
  • Recruited to dTGN vesicle membranes by binding to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P)
  • After the induction of pyroptosis, inflammasome specks are released into the extracellular space where they can further promote IL1B processing and where they can be engulfed by macrophages
  • Phagocytosis induces lysosomal damage and inflammasome activation in the recipient cells
  • In the Th2 subset of CD4(+) helper T-cells, mainly located in the nucleus
  • Nuclear localization depends upon KPNA2
  • In the Th1 subset of CD4(+) helper T-cells, mainly cytoplasmic

1 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.

1 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
transcription coactivator activity A transcription coregulator activity that activates or increases the transcription of specific gene sets via binding to a DNA-bound DNA-binding transcription factor, either on its own or as part of a complex. Coactivators often act by altering chromatin structure and modifications. For example, one class of transcription coactivators modifies chromatin structure through covalent modification of histones. A second class remodels the conformation of chromatin in an ATP-dependent fashion. A third class modulates interactions of DNA-bound DNA-binding transcription factors with other transcription coregulators. A fourth class of coactivator activity is the bridging of a DNA-binding transcription factor to the general (basal) transcription machinery. The Mediator complex, which bridges sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factors and RNA polymerase, is also a transcription coactivator.

4 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
cardiac muscle cell differentiation The process in which a cardiac muscle precursor cell acquires specialized features of a cardiac muscle cell. Cardiac muscle cells are striated muscle cells that are responsible for heart contraction.
positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
smooth muscle cell differentiation The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a smooth muscle cell; smooth muscle lacks transverse striations in its constituent fibers and are almost always involuntary.
transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling An epigenetic mechanism of regulation of gene expression that involves chromatin remodeling to capacitate gene expression by either modifying the chromatin fiber, the nucleosomal histones, or the DNA.
