Also known as bHLHe76
Summary
AHR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor, HGNC:348) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p21.1, encoding Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (P35869). Ligand-activated transcription factor that enables cells to adapt to changing conditions by sensing compounds from the environment, diet, microbiome and cellular metabolism, and which plays important roles in development, immunity and cancer.
The protein encoded by this gene is a ligand-activated helix-loop-helix transcription factor involved in the regulation of biological responses to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. This receptor has been shown to regulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450. Before ligand binding, the encoded protein is sequestered in the cytoplasm; upon ligand binding, this protein moves to the nucleus and stimulates transcription of target genes.

Function. Ligand-activated transcription factor that enables cells to adapt to changing conditions by sensing compounds from the environment, diet, microbiome and cellular metabolism, and which plays important roles in development, immunity and cancer. Upon ligand binding, translocates into the nucleus, where it heterodimerizes with ARNT and induces transcription by binding to xenobiotic response elements (XRE). Regulates a variety of biological processes, including angiogenesis, hematopoiesis, drug and lipid metabolism, cell motility and immune modulation. Xenobiotics can act as ligands: upon xenobiotic-binding, activates the expression of multiple phase I and II xenobiotic chemical metabolizing enzyme genes (such as the CYP1A1 gene). Mediates biochemical and toxic effects of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. Next to xenobiotics, natural ligands derived from plants, microbiota, and endogenous metabolism are potent AHR agonists. Tryptophan (Trp) derivatives constitute an important class of endogenous AHR ligands. Acts as a negative regulator of anti-tumor immunity: indoles and kynurenic acid generated by Trp catabolism act as ligand and activate AHR, thereby promoting AHR-driven cancer cell motility and suppressing adaptive immunity. Regulates the circadian clock by inhibiting the basal and circadian expression of the core circadian component PER1. Inhibits PER1 by repressing the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer mediated transcriptional activation of PER1. The heterodimer ARNT:AHR binds to core DNA sequence 5’-TGCGTG-3’ within the dioxin response element (DRE) of target gene promoters and activates their transcription.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Heterodimer; efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Interacts with ARNT; the heterodimer ARNT:AHR binds to core DNA sequence 5’-TGCGTG-3’ within the dioxin response element (DRE) of target gene promoters and activates their transcription. Binds MYBBP1A. Interacts with coactivators including SRC-1, RIP140 and NOCA7, and with the corepressor SMRT. Interacts with NEDD8 and IVNS1ABP. Interacts with BMAL1. Interacts with HSP90AB1. Interacts with TIPARP; leading to mono-ADP-ribosylation of AHR and subsequent inhibition of AHR.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all tissues tested including blood, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas and skeletal muscle. Expressed in retinal photoreceptors.
Post-translational modifications. Mono-ADP-ribosylated, leading to inhibit transcription activator activity of AHR.
Disease relevance. Retinitis pigmentosa 85 (RP85) [MIM:618345] A form of retinitis pigmentosa, a retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP85 is an autosomal recessive form manifesting as early-onset progressive difficulty to adapt in dim light and gradually decreasing visual acuity in both eyes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Foveal hypoplasia 3 (FVH3) [MIM:620958] An autosomal recessive form of foveal hypoplasia, a developmental defect of the eye defined as the lack of foveal depression with continuity of all neurosensory retinal layers in the presumed foveal area. Clinical features include absence of foveal pit on optical coherence tomography, absence of foveal hyperpigmentation, absence of foveal avascularity, absence of foveal and macular reflexes, decreased visual acuity, and nystagmus. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The PAS 1 domain is essential for dimerization and also required for AHR:ARNT heterodimerization.
Induction. Induced or repressed by TGFB1 and dioxin in a cell-type specific fashion. Repressed by cAMP, retinoic acid, and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13 acetate (TPA).
