TOX
geneOn this page
Also known as KIAA0808TOX1
Summary
TOX (thymocyte selection associated high mobility group box, HGNC:18988) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8q12.1, encoding Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein TOX (O94900). Transcriptional regulator with a major role in neural stem cell commitment and corticogenesis as well as in lymphoid cell development and lymphoid tissue organogenesis.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a HMG box DNA binding domain. HMG boxes are found in many eukaryotic proteins involved in chromatin assembly, transcription and replication. This protein may function to regulate T-cell development.

Function. Transcriptional regulator with a major role in neural stem cell commitment and corticogenesis as well as in lymphoid cell development and lymphoid tissue organogenesis. Binds to GC-rich DNA sequences in the proximity of transcription start sites and may alter chromatin structure, modifying access of transcription factors to DNA. During cortical development, controls the neural stem cell pool by inhibiting the switch from proliferative to differentiating progenitors. Beyond progenitor cells, promotes neurite outgrowth in newborn neurons migrating to reach the cortical plate. May activate or repress critical genes for neural stem cell fate such as SOX2, EOMES and ROBO2. Plays an essential role in the development of lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi) cells, a subset necessary for the formation of secondary lymphoid organs: peripheral lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. Acts as a developmental checkpoint and regulates thymocyte positive selection toward T cell lineage commitment. Required for the development of various T cell subsets, including CD4-positive helper T cells, CD8-positive cytotoxic T cells, regulatory T cells and CD1D-dependent natural killer T (NKT) cells. Required for the differentiation of common lymphoid progenitors (CMP) to innate lymphoid cells (ILC). May regulate the NOTCH-mediated gene program, promoting differentiation of the ILC lineage. Required at the progenitor phase of NK cell development in the bone marrow to specify NK cell lineage commitment. Upon chronic antigen stimulation, diverts T cell development by promoting the generation of exhaustive T cells, while suppressing effector and memory T cell programming. May regulate the expression of genes encoding inhibitory receptors such as PDCD1 and induce the exhaustion program, to prevent the overstimulation of T cells and activation-induced cell death.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with HBO1 complex composed at least of KAT7/HBO1, ING4, MEAF6, and JADE2; this complex is involved in histone acetylation. Interacts with DNMT1, LEO1, PAF1, SAP130 and SIN3A; these interactors regulate chromatin remodeling. Interacts with an array of proteins involved in RNA processing and translation and DNA replication.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in NK cells. Highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating CD8-positive T cells (at protein level).
Induction. Up-regulated during differentiation of NK cells from CD34-positive hematopoietic cells in the presence of IL15. Down-regulated in mature NK cells.
Similarity. Belongs to the high motility group (HMG) box superfamily.
