| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated at Ser/Thr residues. Phosphorylation of Tyr-457 is required for IFNG receptor signal transduction. Influenza virus infection leads to phosphorylation in a CSNK1A1-dependent manner. Ubiquitinated after phosphorylation in a CSNK1A1-dependent manner, leading to the lysosome-dependent degradation. Proteasomally degraded through 'Lys-48'-mediated ubiquitination. Ubiquitination is necessary for efficient IFNGR1 signaling. |
| Function | Receptor subunit for interferon gamma/INFG that plays crucial roles in antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor responses by activating effector immune cells and enhancing antigen presentation. Associates with transmembrane accessory factor IFNGR2 to form a functional receptor. Upon ligand binding, the intracellular domain of IFNGR1 opens out to allow association of downstream signaling components JAK1 and JAK2. In turn, activated JAK1 phosphorylates IFNGR1 to form a docking site for STAT1. Subsequent phosphorylation of STAT1 leads to dimerization, translocation to the nucleus, and stimulation of target gene transcription. STAT3 can also be activated in a similar manner although activation seems weaker. IFNGR1 intracellular domain phosphorylation also provides a docking site for SOCS1 that regulates the JAK-STAT pathway by competing with STAT1 binding to IFNGR1. |
