| UniProt functional annotation for P17181 | |||
| UniProt code: P17181. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Component of the receptor for type I interferons, including interferons alpha, IFNB1 and IFNW1 (PubMed:2153461, PubMed:7665574, PubMed:10049744, PubMed:14532120, PubMed:15337770, PubMed:21854986). Functions in general as heterodimer with IFNAR2 (PubMed:7665574, PubMed:10049744, PubMed:21854986). Type I interferon binding activates the JAK-STAT signaling cascade, and triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of a number of proteins including JAKs, TYK2, STAT proteins and the IFNR alpha- and beta-subunits themselves (PubMed:7665574, PubMed:21854986, PubMed:32972995). Can form an active IFNB1 receptor by itself and activate a signaling cascade that does not involve activation of the JAK-STAT pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P33896, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19561067, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2153461, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32972995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000305|PubMed:21854986}. | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer with IFNAR2 (PubMed:7665574, PubMed:10049744, PubMed:21854986). Interacts with STAT1 and STAT2; the interaction requires its phosphorylation at Tyr-466 (PubMed:9121453). Interacts with TYK2 (PubMed:7526154, PubMed:15337770, PubMed:24704786). Interacts (serine-phosphorylated form) with FBXW11, the substrate recognition component of a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (PubMed:14532120, PubMed:15337770, PubMed:18056411). Interacts with SHMT2; this promotes interaction with ABRAXAS2 and the BRISC complex (PubMed:24075985). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21854986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24704786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7526154, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9121453}. | |

Late endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056411, ECO:0000305|PubMed:14532120}. Lysosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056411, ECO:0000305|PubMed:14532120}. Note=Interferon binding triggers internalization of the receptor from the cell membrane into endosomes and then into lysosomes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056411}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | IFN receptors are present in all tissues and even on the surface of most IFN-resistant cells. Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in the IFN-alpha sensitive myeloma cell line U266B1. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed in the IFN-alpha resistant myeloma cell line U266R. Isoform 1 is not expressed in IFN- alpha resistant myeloma cell line U266R. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8307198}. | |
| Ptm: | Ubiquitinated, leading to its internalization and degradation (PubMed:14532120, PubMed:15337770). Polyubiquitinated via 'Lys-48'- linked and 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains, leading to receptor internalization and lysosomal degradation (PubMed:18056411). The 'Lys- 63'-linked ubiquitin chains are cleaved off by the BRISC complex (PubMed:24075985). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18056411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075985}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated on serine residues in response to interferon binding; this promotes interaction with FBXW11 and ubiquitination (PubMed:14532120, PubMed:15337770, PubMed:24075985). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by TYK2 tyrosine kinase (PubMed:7526154). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to interferon (PubMed:10049744). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7526154}. | |
