Supplementary information

TIM 4 also known as T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 4 is a protein of significant interest in immunology. It belongs to the TIM family of proteins which includes TIM 1 TIM 2 and TIM 3. TIM 4 weighs approximately 70 kDa and is mainly expressed on antigen-presenting cells including dendritic cells and macrophages. This protein plays an important role in immune response through its ability to recognize phosphatidylserine on apoptotic cells facilitating their clearance.
Biological function summary

The function of TIM 4 extends to regulating immune homeostasis and tolerance. TIM 4 does not possess signaling motifs itself but often associates with other adaptor proteins to exert its biological effects. It acts independently or forms part of complexes that modulate cell signaling events influencing the outcome of immune responses. The protein plays important roles in maintaining the delicate balance of immune activation and suppression which is critical to preventing autoimmunity.

Pathways

TIM 4 interaction occurs in pathways like the phosphatidylserine-mediated phagocytosis pathway which involves clearance of apoptotic cells. TIM 4 engages with phosphatidylserine a process important to maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing inflammation. It works alongside other proteins in similar pathways including TIM 3 where together they mediate distinct and overlapping cellular processes involved in immune regulation.

TIM 4 presents significant implications in conditions including autoimmune diseases and cancer. Aberrant expression or function of TIM 4 associates with autoimmune disorders where it may contribute to the insufficient clearance of apoptotic cells subsequently promoting autoimmunity. In cancer altered TIM 4 activity can influence tumor progression by affecting immune evasion mechanisms. As TIM 4 interacts with TIM 3 these proteins together play roles in the development and progression of these diseases.

Target data

Phosphatidylserine receptor that plays different role in immune response including phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and T-cell regulation. Controls T-cell activation in a bimodal fashion, decreasing the activation of naive T-cells by inducing cell cycle arrest, while increasing proliferation of activated T-cells by activating AKT1 and ERK1/2 phosphorylations and subsequent signaling pathways (By similarity). Also plays a role in efferocytosis which is the process by which apoptotic cells are removed by phagocytic cells (PubMed : 32703939, PubMed : 34067457). Mechanistically, promotes the engulfment of apoptotic cells or exogenous particles by securing them to phagocytes through direct binding to phosphatidylserine present on apoptotic cells, while other engulfment receptors such as MERTK efficiently recognize apoptotic cells and mediate their ingestion (PubMed : 32640697). Additionally, promotes autophagy process by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activity via activation of LKB1/PRKAA1 pathway in a phosphatidylserine-dependent mechanism (By similarity).. (Microbial infection) Plays a positive role in exosome-mediated trafficking of HIV-1 virus and its entry into immune cells.
