• Post Translational Modifications: Phosphorylated by NFATC-kinases; dephosphorylated by calcineurin/PPP3CA. Phosphorylated on Ser-168 and Ser-170 by MTOR, IRAK1, MAPK7/ERK5 and MAPK14/p38, on Ser-213 and Ser-217 by MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK9/JNK2, and on Ser-289 and Ser-344 by RPS6KA3. Phosphorylated by GSK3B. Phosphorylation by GSK3B markedly increases NFATC4 ubiquitination (By similarity). Phosphorylation at Ser-168 and Ser-170 is stimulated by UV irradiation. Phosphorylation determines subcellular location: the hyperphosphorylated protein is cytosolic, while the dephosphorylated form is targeted to the nucleus.Ubiquitinated, leading to degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitination may be stimulated by GSK3B-dependent phosphorylation. Polyubiquitin linkage mainly occurs through 'Lys-48'.
• Subunit Structure: Member of the multicomponent NFATC transcription complex that consists of at least two components, a pre-existing cytoplasmic component NFATC2 and an inducible nuclear component NFATC1. Other NFAT proteins, such as NFATC3, or members of the activating protein-1 (AP-1) family and MAF can also bind the complex. NFAT proteins can bind DNA as monomers or dimers. Interacts with CREBBP; this interaction potentiates transcription activation. Interacts with MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK9/JNK2. Interacts with GATA4 (via the second Zn finger) (By similarity). Interacts (via N-terminus) with IRAK1 (via C-terminus). Interacts with RPS6KA3. Interacts with HOMER1, HOMER2 and HOMER3; this interaction competes with calcineurin/PPP3CA-binding and hence prevents NFATC4 dephosphorylation and activation. Interacts with ESR1 and ESR2; this interaction decreases NFATC4 transcriptional activity. Interacts with MTOR and MAPK7/ERK5.
• Similarity: Rel similarity domain (RSD) or Rel homology domain (RHD) allows DNA-binding and cooperative interactions with AP-1 factors.
• Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm>Cytosol. Nucleus.; Note: When hyperphosphorylated, localizes in the cytosol. When intracellular Ca (2+) levels increase, dephosphorylation by calcineurin/PPP3CA leads to translocation into the nucleus (PubMed:11997522, PubMed:18347059). MAPK7/ERK5 and MTOR regulate NFATC4 nuclear export through phosphorylation at Ser-168 and Ser-170 (PubMed:18347059).
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

NCBI Description

The product of this gene is a member of the nuclear factors of activated T cells DNA-binding transcription complex. This complex consists of at least two components: a preexisting cytosolic component that translocates to the nucleus upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation and an inducible nuclear component. Other members of this family of nuclear factors of activated T cells also participate in the formation of this complex. The product of this gene plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 and IL-4. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
