General info

Function

The protein expressed by the gene PDCD1 functions as an inhibitory receptor on antigen-activated T-cells, playing a critical role in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance to self. It delivers inhibitory signals by binding to the ligands CD274/PDCD1L1 and CD273/PDCD1LG2. Tumors exploit the PDCD1-mediated inhibitory pathway to attenuate anti-tumor immunity, enabling tumor survival by evading immune system destruction. The interaction with CD274/PDCD1L1 inhibits the effector function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Blocking the PDCD1-mediated pathway can reverse the exhausted T-cell phenotype and normalize the anti-tumor response, providing a rationale for cancer immunotherapy.

Post-translational modifications

Ubiquitinated at Lys-233 by the SCF(FBXO38) complex, leading to its proteasomal degradation (PubMed:30487606). Ubiquitinated via 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains (PubMed:30487606).. Tyrosine phosphorylated at Tyr-223 (within ITIM motif) and Tyr-248 (ITSM motif) upon ligand binding. Phosphorylation at Tyr-248 promotes the recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11/SHP-2 that mediates dephosphorylation of key TCR proximal signaling molecules, such as ZAP70, PRKCQ/PKCtheta and CD247/CD3zeta.. N-glycosylation at Asn-58 contains at least two N-acetylglucosamine units and one fucose (PubMed:28165004). N-glycosylation does not affect binding to nivolumab drug (PubMed:28165004).
