InnateDB Annotation
Summary
Xbp1 transcription factor regulates innate immune responses in macrophages via Tlr2 activation and its deficiency results in a much greater bacterial burden in mice infected with the Tlr2-activating human intracellular pathogen Francisella tularensis.
Xbp1 is an important regulator in ER stress response and may function collaboratively with innate immunity to maintain cellular homeostasis. Xbp1 is essential in poly(I:C)-signalling and ER stress-amplified IFNB production in dendritic cells, and the over-expression of Xbp1 synergistically augments the poly(I:C)-induced inflammatory response.

Summary
[Homo sapiens] XBP1 transcription factor regulates innate immune responses in macrophages via TLR2 activation and its deficiency results in a much greater bacterial burden in mice infected with the TLR2-activating human intracellular pathogen Francisella tularensis.
[Homo sapiens] XBP1/ERN1 (IRE1)-mediated signalling plays roles in the coordination of metabolic and immune responses by acting as a regulatory hub, linking endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis with innate immunity and metabolism.
[Homo sapiens] XBP1 interacts with EP300 to augment IFN-beta induction via a cis-acting enhancer in macrophages under endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000100219:
This gene encodes a transcription factor that regulates MHC class II genes by binding to a promoter element referred to as an X box. This gene product is a bZIP protein, which was also identified as a cellular transcription factor that binds to an enhancer in the promoter of the T cell leukemia virus type 1 promoter. It may increase expression of viral proteins by acting as the DNA binding partner of a viral transactivator. It has been found that upon accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the mRNA of this gene is processed to an active form by an unconventional splicing mechanism that is mediated by the endonuclease inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1). The resulting loss of 26 nt from the spliced mRNA causes a frame-shift and an isoform XBP1(S), which is the functionally active transcription factor. The isoform encoded by the unspliced mRNA, XBP1(U), is constitutively expressed, and thought to function as a negative feedback regulator of XBP1(S), which shuts off transcription of target genes during the recovery phase of ER stress. A pseudogene of XBP1 has been identified and localized to chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
