Summary
RFXANK (regulatory factor X associated ankyrin containing protein, HGNC:9987) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.11, encoding DNA-binding protein RFXANK (O14593). Activates transcription from class II MHC promoters.
Major histocompatibility (MHC) class II molecules are transmembrane proteins that have a central role in development and control of the immune system. The protein encoded by this gene, along with regulatory factor X-associated protein and regulatory factor-5, forms a complex that binds to the X box motif of certain MHC class II gene promoters and activates their transcription. Once bound to the promoter, this complex associates with the non-DNA-binding factor MHC class II transactivator, which controls the cell type specificity and inducibility of MHC class II gene expression. This protein contains ankyrin repeats involved in protein-protein interactions. Mutations in this gene have been linked to bare lymphocyte syndrome type II, complementation group B. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Function. Activates transcription from class II MHC promoters. Activation requires the activity of the MHC class II transactivator/CIITA. May regulate other genes in the cell. RFX binds the X1 box of MHC-II promoters. May also potentiate the activation of RAF1. Isoform 2 is not involved in the positive regulation of MHC class II genes.
Subunit / interactions. Forms homodimers. The RFX heterotetrameric complex consists of 2 molecules of RFX5 and one each of RFXAP and RFX-B/RFXANK; with each subunit representing a separate complementation group. Interacts (via ankyrin repeats) with RFX5 (via PxLPxI/L motif); the interaction is direct. RFX forms cooperative DNA binding complexes with X2BP and CBF/NF-Y. RFX associates with CIITA to form an active transcriptional complex. Interacts with RAF1. Interacts (via ankyrin repeats) with RFX7 (via PxLPxI/L motif).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by RAF1.
Disease relevance. MHC class II deficiency 2 (MHC2D2) [MIM:620815] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by immunodeficiency and recurrent bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections in early infancy. Additional manifestations include failure to thrive, chronic diarrhea, and autoimmune features and allergies that may be present in some patients. Death often occurs in infancy or early childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Interacts with RAF1 via its C-terminal ankyrin repeat domain. The same domain also mediates its homodimerization. The third ankyrin repeat is required for association with the two other RFX subunits; RFX5 and RFXAP. The three central ANK repeats mediate binding to the PxLPxI/L motif of RFX5.
