Human Gene FOXO3 (ENST00000343882.10) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_201559)
RefSeq Summary (NM_201559): This gene belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors which are characterized by a distinct forkhead domain. This gene likely functions as a trigger for apoptosis through expression of genes necessary for cell death. Translocation of this gene with the MLL gene is associated with secondary acute leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

  ID: FOXO3_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Forkhead box protein O3; AltName: Full=AF6q21 protein; AltName: Full=Forkhead in rhabdomyosarcoma-like 1;
FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator which triggers apoptosis in the absence of survival factors, including neuronal cell death upon oxidative stress. Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-[AG]TAAA[TC]A-3'. Participates in post-transcriptional regulation of MYC: following phosphorylation by MAPKAPK5, promotes induction of miR-34b and miR-34c expression, 2 post- transcriptional regulators of MYC that bind to the 3'UTR of MYC transcript and prevent its translation.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with YWHAB/14-3-3-beta and YWHAZ/14-3-3-zeta, which are required for cytosolic sequestration. Upon oxidative stress, interacts with STK4/MST1, which disrupts interaction with YWHAB/14-3-3-beta and leads to nuclear translocation. Interacts with PIM1. Interacts with DDIT3/CHOP.
INTERACTION: Q08050:FOXM1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1644164, EBI-866480; P51610:HCFC1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1644164, EBI-396176; Q96EB6:SIRT1; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-1644164, EBI-1802965; Q13485:SMAD4; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-1644164, EBI-347263;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus. Note=Translocates to the nucleus upon oxidative stress and in the absence of survival factors.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous.
PTM: In the presence of survival factors such as IGF-1, phosphorylated on Thr-32 and Ser-253 by AKT1/PKB. This phosphorylated form then interacts with 14-3-3 proteins and is retained in the cytoplasm. Survival factor withdrawal induces dephosphorylation and promotes translocation to the nucleus where the dephosphorylated protein induces transcription of target genes and triggers apoptosis. Although AKT1/PKB doesn't appear to phosphorylate Ser-315 directly, it may activate other kinases that trigger phosphorylation at this residue. Phosphorylated by STK4/MST1 on Ser-209 upon oxidative stress, which leads to dissociation from YWHAB/14-3-3-beta and nuclear translocation. Phosphorylated by PIM1. Phosphorylation by AMPK leads to the activation of transcriptional activity without affecting subcellular localization. Phosphorylation by MAPKAPK5 promotes nuclear localization and DNA-binding, leading to induction of miR- 34b and miR-34c expression, 2 post-transcriptional regulators of MYC that bind to the 3'UTR of MYC transcript and prevent its translation.
PTM: Heavyly methylated by SET9 which decreases stability, while moderately increasing transcriptional activity. The main methylation site is Lys-271. Methylation doesn't affect subcellular location.
DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving FOXO3 is found in secondary acute leukemias. Translocation t(6;11)(q21;q23) with MLL/HRX.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 fork-head DNA-binding domain.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
