| UniProt functional annotation for Q9Y239 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9Y239. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Enhances caspase-9-mediated apoptosis. Induces NF-kappa-B activity via RIPK2 and IKK-gamma. Confers responsiveness to intracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Forms an intracellular sensing system along with ARHGEF2 for the detection of microbial effectors during cell invasion by pathogens. Required for RHOA and RIPK2 dependent NF-kappa-B signaling pathway activation upon S.flexneri cell invasion. Involved not only in sensing peptidoglycan (PGN)-derived muropeptides but also in the activation of NF-kappa-B by Shigella effector proteins IpgB2 and OspB. Recruits NLRP10 to the cell membrane following bacterial infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11058605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17054981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19043560, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22672233}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. Self-associates. Binds to caspase-9 and RIPK2 by CARD-CARD interaction. Interacts with ARHGEF2. Interacts with NLRP10 and recruits it to the cell membrane following invasive bacterial infection. Interacts with RNF34. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17054981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17173864, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18186648, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19043560, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22672233}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane. Note=Detected in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane. Following bacterial infection, localizes to bacterial entry sites in the cell membrane. Recruited to the basolateral and apical membranes in polarized epithelial cells. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Highly expressed in adult heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen and ovary. Also detected in placenta, lung, liver, kidney, thymus, testis, small intestine and colon. | |
| Ptm: | Ubiquitinated. 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination by RNF34 promotes proteasomal degradation and thereby negatively regulates NOD1 for instance in NF-kappa-B activition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25012219}. | |
