Structure
NFAT5 (Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells 5), also known as TonEBP (Tonicity-Responsive Enhancer Binding Protein), is a transcription factor with unique regulation compared to other NFAT family members. Key structural features: [@neuroinflammation2015]
Rel-homology region (RHR): DNA-binding domain at N-terminus (residues 1-487)
Transactivation domain: C-terminal region for cofactor recruitment
N-terminal regulatory domain: Contains the tonicity-sensing region
Dimerization interface: Forms homodimers for DNA binding
DNA-binding domain: Binds to osmotic response elements (ORE)
NFAT-like region: Similar to calcineurin-responsive NFAT proteins
Normal Function
NFAT5 is the osmotic stress-responsive transcription factor in mammals: [@therapeutic2017]
