High impact information on NFAM1

  • The results suggest that NFAM1 modulates B cell signaling through its ITAM, which regulates B cell development [1].
  • NFAM1, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-bearing molecule that regulates B cell development and signaling [1].
  • By using this strategy, NFAT activating molecule 1 (NFAM1) was cloned as an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-bearing cell surface molecule belonging to the Ig superfamily and is predominantly expressed in spleen B and T cells [1].
  • Mutation of either or both tyrosines in the ITAM abolished transcriptional activation induced by CNAIP, indicating that the ITAM is indispensable for CNAIP function in activating cytokine gene promoters [2].
  • Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that CNAIP was preferentially expressed in neutrophils, monocytes, mast cells, and other immune-related cells [2].
 

Biological context of NFAM1

  • Co-transfection of CNAIP expression constructs with luciferase reporter plasmids in HMC-1 cells resulted in activation of interleukin-13 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoters, which was mediated through the calcineurin/NFAT-signaling pathway [2].
