Background: Autoimmune Regulator/AIRE

AutoImmune REgulator (AIRE) is an approximately 60 kDa nuclear and cytosolic protein that is required for the development of T cell tolerance. It regulates the expression of self-antigens by thymic epithelial cells, and mutations in AIRE are causative of the autoimmune disorder, APECED. AIRE regulates gene transcription through interactions with DNA, histone H3, and the nuclear matrix. It contains one HSD domain (aa 1-105), a nuclear localization sequence (aa 113-133), one SAND domain (aa 181-280), and two PHD zinc finger domains (aa 299-340 and aa 434-475). Alternate splicing of human AIRE generates isoforms that lack the HSR and SAND domains and/or the second PHD domain. Within aa 476-552, human AIRE shares 65% and 63% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat AIRE, respectively.
