General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Transcriptional activator required for lipid homeostasis. Regulates transcription of the LDL receptor gene as well as the cholesterol and to a lesser degree the fatty acid synthesis pathway By similarity. Binds the sterol regulatory element 1 (SRE-1) (5'-ATCACCCCAC-3') found in the flanking region of the LDRL and HMG-CoA synthase genes. |
| Subunit structure | Forms a tight complex with SCAP in the ER membrane. Efficient DNA binding of the soluble transcription factor fragment requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Interacts with LMNA. Component of SCAP/SREBP complex composed of SREBF2, SCAP and RNF139; the complex hampers the interaction between SCAP and SEC24B, thereby reducing SREBF2 proteolytic processing. Interacts (via C-terminus domain) with RNF139. Ref.10 |
| Subcellular location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle › COPII-coated vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Moves from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi in the absence of sterols. Processed sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2: Nucleus. |
| Tissue specificity | Ubiquitously expressed in adult and fetal tissues. |
| Post-translational modification | At low cholesterol the SCAP/SREBP complex is recruited into COPII vesicles for export from the ER. In the Golgi complex SREBPs are cleaved sequentially by site-1 and site-2 protease. The first cleavage by site-1 protease occurs within the luminal loop, the second cleavage by site-2 protease occurs within the first transmembrane domain and releases the transcription factor from the Golgi membrane. Apoptosis triggers cleavage by the cysteine proteases caspase-3 and caspase-7. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Phosphorylated by AMPK, leading to suppress protein processing and nuclear translocation, and repress target gene expression By similarity. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the SREBP family. Contains 1 bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAH51799.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. |
