Interleukin enhancer-binding factor 2 (ILF2)
The protein contains 390 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 43062 Da.
Appears to function predominantly as a heterodimeric complex with ILF3. This complex may regulate transcription of the IL2 gene during T-cell activation. It can also promote the formation of stable DNA-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme complexes on DNA. Essential for the efficient reshuttling of ILF3 (isoform 1 and isoform 2) into the nucleus.

CLONING
Nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT; see 600490) is a transcription factor required for T-cell expression of interleukin-2 (IL2; 147680). NFAT binds to a sequence known as the antigen receptor response element-2 (ARRE2) in the IL2 enhancer. Purified NFAT contains 45- and 90-kD subunits. Kao et al. (1994) cloned cDNAs encoding NF45 and NF90 (603182). The NF45 gene encodes a 405-amino acid polypeptide with distant similarity to DNA topoisomerase II (126430) and a prokaryotic RNA polymerase that melts DNA to initiate transcription. Northern and Western blot analysis revealed that NF45 and NF90 were expressed in several cell types, including both unstimulated and stimulated Jurkat T cells.GENE FUNCTION
Kao et al. (1994) showed that NF45 and NF90 proteins formed an NFAT DNA-binding activity that was enhanced by T-cell stimulation and inhibited by cyclosporin A and FK506. ... More on the omim web site
