Overview of Gene Research
Ubxn6, short for Ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) domain-containing protein 6, is an essential cofactor for the activity of the valosin-containing protein p97, an adenosine triphosphatase associated with diverse cellular activities. It is involved in multiple cellular pathways, such as autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, and JAK-STAT1/2 signaling, which are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and immune responses [1,2].
In myeloid cell-specific UBXN6-depleted mice, macrophages showed exacerbated inflammation, increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, and greater impairment of autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathways. UBXN6-deficient macrophages also underwent immunometabolic remodeling, characterized by a shift to aerobic glycolysis and elevated levels of branched-chain amino acids. These metabolic changes amplified mammalian target of rapamycin pathway signaling, reducing the nuclear translocation of the transcription factor EB and impairing lysosomal biogenesis [1]. In human UBXN6-deficient cells, RNA viral replication increased, accompanied by a reduction in both type I/III IFN expression, indicating its role in antiviral responses [2].
In summary, Ubxn6 serves as an activator of autophagy, regulates inflammation, and is important for maintaining normal JAK-STAT1/2 signaling during immune responses. The study of Ubxn6 using gene knockout models, like the myeloid cell-specific UBXN6-depleted mice, has provided valuable insights into its role in sepsis-related inflammation and viral infection, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in these disease areas [1,2].
