Summary
[Homo sapiens] MX1 is an interferon-induced member of the dynamin superfamily of large GTPases, which inhibit a wide range of viruses by blocking an early stage of the replication cycle.
[Homo sapiens] MX1 GTPase is a key mediator of cell-autonomous innate immunity against a broad range of viruses such as influenza and bunyaviruses.
[Homo sapiens] MX1 expression is upregulated by alpha-defensins in gigival epithelial cell.
[Homo sapiens] Antiviral specificity of MX1 against orthomyxoviruses (influenza A and Thogoto viruses) is determined by a few critical amino acids in the disordered loop L4 of MX1.
[Homo sapiens] NRAV, a long noncoding RNA, modulates antiviral responses by negatively regulating the initial transcription of multiple critical interferon-stimulated genes, including IFITM3 and MX1, by affecting their histone modification.
[Homo sapiens] MX1 prevents influenza A virus (IAV) replication by disassembling into dimers and binding to IAV nucleoprotein synthesized following primary transcription.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000157601:
In mouse, the interferon-inducible Mx protein is responsible for a specific antiviral state against influenza virus infection. The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the mouse protein as determined by its antigenic relatedness, induction conditions, physicochemical properties, and amino acid analysis. This cytoplasmic protein is a member of both the dynamin family and the family of large GTPases. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
This gene encodes a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-metabolizing protein that participates in the cellular antiviral response. The encoded protein is induced by type I and type II interferons and antagonizes the replication process of several different RNA and DNA viruses. There is a related gene located adjacent to this gene on chromosome 21, and there are multiple pseudogenes located in a cluster on chromosome 4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
