Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF or MMIF) also known as glycosylation-inhibiting factor (GIF), L-dopachrome isomerase, or phenylpyruvate tautomerase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIF gene.[1][2]

Contents

Structure

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor assembles into a trimer composed of three identical subunits. Each of these monomers contain two antiparallel alpha helices and a four-stranded beta sheet. The monomers surround a central channel with 3-fold rotational symmetry.[3][4]

Enzymatic activity

MIF contains two motifs with catalytic activity. The first is a 27 amino acid motif located at the N-terminus functions as a phenylpyruvate tautomerase that can catalyze the conversion of 2-carboxy-2,3-dihydroindole-5,6-quinone (dopachrome) into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA).[5][6] MIF also contains a Cys-Ala-Leu-Cys catalytic site between residues 57 and 60 that appears to function as a disulfide reductase.[7]

Function

This gene encodes a lymphokine involved in cell-mediated immunity, immunoregulation, and inflammation.[8][9][10] MIF plays a role in the regulation of macrophage function in host defense through the suppression of anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids.[11][12][10] This lymphokine and the JAB1 protein form a complex in the cytosol near the peripheral plasma membrane, which may indicate a role in integrin signaling pathways.[13]

It has also been shown[14] to induce changes in the heart during sepsis.

Interactions

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor has been reported to interact with:

Clinical significance

MIF is an inflammatory mediator associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) severity.[25][26][27]

Additionally, evidence suggests that there is a correlation between MIF production and metastatic potential in colorectal cancer.[28]
