摘要: Transcription factors of the NFAT family play a key role in transcription cytokine genes and other during immune response. We have identified two new isoforms factor NFAT1 (previously termed NFATp) that are predominant expressed murine human T cells. When Jurkat cells, recombinant is regulated, as expected, by calmodulin-dependent phosphatasecalcineurin,anditsfunctionisinhibitedbytheimmunosuppressiveagentcyclosporinA(CsA).Transactivation cells requires dual stimulation with ionomycin phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; this activity potentiated coexpression constitutively active calcineurin inhibited CsA. Immunocytochemical analysis indicates localizes cytoplasm transiently transfected translocates into nucleus CsA-sensitive manner following stimulation. COS however, capable transactivation, but it not regulated correctly: its subcellular localization transcriptional function affected 13-acetate. Recombinant can mediate interleukin-2, interleukin-4, tumor necrosis alpha, granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating promoters suggesting contributes to these The nuclear activated (NFAT) was originallyidentifiedinTcellsasanessentialtranscriptionfactorfor
