Supplementary information

ITCH also known as AIP4 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase with a molecular mass of approximately 108 kDa. The protein primarily functions in the ubiquitination process which regulates protein degradation via the proteasome. ITCH is known for its role in the post-translational modification of proteins through ubiquitin tagging facilitating the promotion or suppression of signal transduction pathways. Expression of ITCH occurs in various tissues including lymphocytes and epithelial cells indicating its diverse functional roles in different physiological contexts.
Biological function summary

ITCH/AIP4 is integral in cellular regulatory mechanisms. It forms part of a sophisticated complex involved in immune response modulation cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. ITCH influences T-cell receptor signaling by controlling the degradation of proteins involved in these critical pathways. Through the ubiquitination cascade ITCH maintains cellular homeostasis participating in the intricate balance of protein synthesis and degradation necessary for normal cellular function.

Pathways

ITCH/AIP4 plays essential roles in the T-cell receptor and Wnt signaling pathways. It interacts with other proteins such as NEDD4 and CBL which are also E3 ubiquitin ligases to modulate signaling cascades involved in immune responses and cellular growth. In the Wnt pathway ITCH regulates the stability of Dishevelled proteins thereby affecting cellular proliferation and differentiation processes. This involvement in multiple pathways highlights its regulatory versatility and importance in maintaining cellular balance.

ITCH/AIP4 is associated with autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its dysfunction can lead to abnormal immune responses contributing to conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Moreover the protein's role in oncogenesis is linked to its ability to modify tumor suppressor and oncoprotein levels including p53 and c-Jun. Disruption in ITCH's function can result in unchecked cell growth and survival emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.

Target data

Acts as an Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates (PubMed : 11046148, PubMed : 14602072, PubMed : 15051726, PubMed : 16387660, PubMed : 17028573, PubMed : 18718448, PubMed : 18718449, PubMed : 19116316, PubMed : 19592251, PubMed : 19881509, PubMed : 20068034, PubMed : 20392206, PubMed : 20491914, PubMed : 23146885, PubMed : 24790097, PubMed : 25631046). Catalyzes 'Lys-29'-, 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin conjugation (PubMed : 17028573, PubMed : 18718448, PubMed : 19131965, PubMed : 19881509). Involved in the control of inflammatory signaling pathways (PubMed : 19131965). Essential component of a ubiquitin-editing protein complex, comprising also TNFAIP3, TAX1BP1 and RNF11, that ensures the transient nature of inflammatory signaling pathways (PubMed : 19131965). Promotes the association of the complex after TNF stimulation (PubMed : 19131965). Once the complex is formed, TNFAIP3 deubiquitinates 'Lys-63' polyubiquitin chains on RIPK1 and catalyzes the formation of 'Lys-48'-polyubiquitin chains (PubMed : 19131965). This leads to RIPK1 proteasomal degradation and consequently termination of the TNF- or LPS-mediated activation of NFKB1 (PubMed : 19131965). Ubiquitinates RIPK2 by 'Lys-63'-linked conjugation and influences NOD2-dependent signal transduction pathways (PubMed : 19592251). Regulates the transcriptional activity of several transcription factors, and probably plays an important role in the regulation of immune response (PubMed : 18718448, PubMed : 20491914). Ubiquitinates NFE2 by 'Lys-63' linkages and is implicated in the control of the development of hematopoietic lineages (PubMed : 18718448). Mediates JUN ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Mediates JUNB ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed : 16387660). Critical regulator of type 2 helper T (Th2) cell cytokine production by inducing JUNB ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Involved in the negative regulation of MAVS-dependent cellular antiviral responses (PubMed : 19881509). Ubiquitinates MAVS through 'Lys-48'-linked conjugation resulting in MAVS proteasomal degradation (PubMed : 19881509). Following ligand stimulation, regulates sorting of Wnt receptor FZD4 to the degradative endocytic pathway probably by modulating PI42KA activity (PubMed : 23146885). Ubiquitinates PI4K2A and negatively regulates its catalytic activity (PubMed : 23146885). Ubiquitinates chemokine receptor CXCR4 and regulates sorting of CXCR4 to the degradative endocytic pathway following ligand stimulation by ubiquitinating endosomal sorting complex required for transport ESCRT-0 components HGS and STAM (PubMed : 14602072, PubMed : 23146885, PubMed : 34927784). Targets DTX1 for lysosomal degradation and controls NOTCH1 degradation, in the absence of ligand, through 'Lys-29'-linked polyubiquitination (PubMed : 17028573, PubMed : 18628966, PubMed : 23886940). Ubiquitinates SNX9 (PubMed : 20491914). Ubiquitinates MAP3K7 through 'Lys-48'-linked conjugation (By similarity). Together with UBR5, involved in the regulation of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species levels through the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TXNIP : catalyzes 'Lys-48'-/'Lys-63'-branched ubiquitination of TXNIP (PubMed : 20068034, PubMed : 29378950). ITCH synthesizes 'Lys-63'-linked chains, while UBR5 is branching multiple 'Lys-48'-linked chains of substrate initially modified (PubMed : 29378950). Mediates the antiapoptotic activity of epidermal growth factor through the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of p15 BID (PubMed : 20392206). Ubiquitinates BRAT1 and this ubiquitination is enhanced in the presence of NDFIP1 (PubMed : 25631046). Inhibits the replication of influenza A virus (IAV) via ubiquitination of IAV matrix protein 1 (M1) through 'Lys-48'-linked conjugation resulting in M1 proteasomal degradation (PubMed : 30328013). Ubiquitinates NEDD9/HEF1, resulting in proteasomal degradation of NEDD9/HEF1 (PubMed : 15051726).
