HSFX4 Gene

Name heat shock transcription factor family, X-linked member 4
Description Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

Instead, it focuses on Nek3, a member of the NIMA‐related kinases, and its role in neuronal morphogenesis. According to the study, Nek3 influences neuronal polarity and morphology by modulating microtubule dynamics. In particular, the phosphorylation of Nek3 at Thr475 within its C-terminal PEST domain regulates its catalytic activity. When unphosphorylated, Nek3 triggers deacetylation of microtubules via HDAC6, leading to altered neuronal structure and polarity, which may contribute to pathological conditions involving axonal degeneration. Since no details about HSFX4 are provided in this abstract, its function remains unaddressed in this context.\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Jufang Chang, Robert H Baloh, Jeffrey Milbrandt "}, {"type": "b", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "The NIMA-family kinase Nek3 regulates microtubule acetylation in neurons."}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " "}, {"type": "i", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "J Cell Sci (2009)"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " DOI: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "10.1242/jcs.048975"}], "href": "https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.048975"}, {"type": "t", "text": " PMID: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "19509051"}], "href": "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19509051"}]}]}]}
