BST2
Gene Full Name
Bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2
Background
Bst2 was first identified as a novel terminal B-cell-restricted antigen termed HM1.24 that is expressed on certain bone marrow cells as well as other tissues. The surface expression of Bst2 on fibroblast cell lines facilitated the stromal cell-dependent growth of DW34, a pre-B-cell line, suggesting that this protein is involved in pre-B-cell growth. Later experiments also showed it to be upregulated in several myeloma cells. More recently, Bst2 was identified an inhibitor of retroviral release from human cells whose activity is antagonized by the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu. While Bst2 caused retention of virions on cell surfaces or endocytosis into Bst2-positive compartments, its depletion abolished the viral requirement for Vpu for virus release. This activity may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Immunogen
Bst2 antibody was raised against a 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of the mouse Bst2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 60 - 110 of Bst2.

Protein Function
IFN-induced antiviral host restriction factor which
efficiently blocks the release of diverse mammalian enveloped
viruses by directly tethering nascent virions to the membranes of
infected cells. Acts as a direct physical tether, holding virions
to the cell membrane and linking virions to each other. The
tethered virions can be internalized by endocytosis and
subsequently degraded or they can remain on the cell surface. In
either case, their spread as cell-free virions is restricted. Its
target viruses belong to diverse families, including retroviridae:
human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), mouse mammary tumor
virus (MMTV) and murine leukemia virus (MLV), filoviridae: ebola
virus (EBOV), arenaviridae: lassa virus (LASV), and rhabdoviridae:
vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Can inhibit cell surface
proteolytic activity of MMP14 causing decreased activation of
MMP15 which results in inhibition of cell growth and migration.
Can stimulate signaling by LILRA4/ILT7 and consequently provide
negative feedback to the production of IFN by plasmacytoid
dendritic cells in response to viral infection. Plays a role in
the organization of the subapical actin cytoskeleton in polarized
epithelial cells.
Subcellular Localization
Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cell
membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane
; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Late
endosome. Membrane raft. Cytoplasm
. Apical cell membrane. Shuttles
between the cell membrane, where it is present predominantly in
membrane/lipid rafts, and the trans-Golgi network. Forms a complex
with MMP14 and localizes to the cytoplasm (By similarity).
