GIFtS:
37
This gene encodes an adapter protein involved in adaptive and innate immunity. This protein includes a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain that specifically binds to phosphorylated serine and threonine residues. In response to bacterial infection, the encoded host cell protein undergoes an intermolecular interaction between the FHA domain and a phosphorylated threonine that leads ... See more...

Summaries for TIFA Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for TIFA Gene

  • This gene encodes an adapter protein involved in adaptive and innate immunity. This protein includes a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain that specifically binds to phosphorylated serine and threonine residues. In response to bacterial infection, the encoded host cell protein undergoes an intermolecular interaction between the FHA domain and a phosphorylated threonine that leads to protein oligomerization and stimulation of the NF-kappa B and other downstream signaling pathways. This protein exhibits reduced expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and may suppress hepatocellular carcinoma progression. This protein may also play a role in the DNA damage response.

GeneCards Summary for TIFA Gene

TIFA (TRAF Interacting Protein With Forkhead Associated Domain) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TIFA include Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Among its related pathways are Diseases associated with the TLR signaling cascade and Shigellosis. An important paralog of this gene is TIFAB.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for TIFA Gene

  • Adapter molecule that plays a key role in the activation of proinflammatory NF-kappa-B signaling following detection of bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern metabolites (PAMPs) (PubMed:12566447, PubMed:15492226, PubMed:26068852, PubMed:28877472, PubMed:28222186, PubMed:30111836). Promotes activation of an innate immune response by inducing the oligomerization and polyubiquitination of TRAF6, which leads to the activation of TAK1 and IKK through a proteasome-independent mechanism (PubMed:15492226, PubMed:26068852). TIFA-dependent innate immune response is triggered by ADP-D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose (ADP-Heptose), a potent PAMP present in all Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria: ADP-Heptose is recognized by ALPK1, which phosphorylates TIFA at Thr-9, leading to TIFA homooligomerization and subsequent activation of proinflammatory NF-kappa-B signaling (PubMed:30111836).

    Quaternary structure:
    • Homooligomer; homooligomerizes following phosphorylation at Thr-9 (PubMed:12566447, PubMed:22566686, PubMed:26068852, PubMed:26389808). Interacts with IRAK1, TRAF2 and TRAF6 (PubMed:12566447). Interacts with TIFAB; binding to TIFAB inhibits TRAF6 activation, possibly by inducing a conformational change in TIFA (PubMed:15047173). Interacts with ZCCHC11; binding to ZCCHC11 suppresses the TRAF6-dependent activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed:16643855).
