Abstract
Heme is known to bind to the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) to regulate protein function. The binding of heme to the IDR of transcription factor BACH2 promotes plasma cell differentiation, but the molecular basis is unknown. Heme was found to increase BACH2 IDR interaction with TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). TBK1 inactivated BACH2 by phosphorylation of its IDR, whereas BACH2 repressed TBK1 gene expression. BACH2 phosphorylation by TBK1 inhibited its interaction with the co-repressor NCOR1 and promoted plasma cell differentiation. Heme also induced BACH2 binding to ubiquitin E3 ligase adaptor FBXO22, which polyubiquitinated BACH2 only in the presence of heme in vitro. Mutations of some of the TBK1-mediated phosphorylation sites promoted BACH2-FBXO22 interaction, while additional mutations abrogated their interaction, suggesting that TBK1 can both inhibit and promote BACH2-FBXO22 interaction. Therefore, heme regulates phosphorylation of BACH2 IDR by TBK1 and its interaction with NCOR1 and FBXO22, leading to de-repression of BACH2 target genes in humoral immunity.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
