| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated by IKBKE. (Microbial infection) Cleaved by encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) protease 3C. This cleavage allows the virus to disrupt the TANK-TBK1-IKKepsilon-IRF3 complex, thereby inhibiting the induction of the IFN-beta signal pathway. (Microbial infection) Cleaved by Seneca Valley virus protease 3C allowing the virus to suppress interferon type-I through both RIG-I and Toll-like receptor-dependent pathways. |
| Function | Adapter protein involved in I-kappa-B-kinase (IKK) regulation which constitutively binds TBK1 and IKBKE playing a role in antiviral innate immunity. Acts as a regulator of TRAF function by maintaining them in a latent state. Blocks TRAF2 binding to LMP1 and inhibits LMP1-mediated NF-kappa-B activation. Negatively regulates NF-kappaB signaling and cell survival upon DNA damage. Plays a role as an adapter to assemble ZC3H12A, USP10 in a deubiquitination complex which plays a negative feedback response to attenuate NF-kappaB activation through the deubiquitination of IKBKG or TRAF6 in response to interleukin-1-beta (IL1B) stimulation or upon DNA damage. Promotes UBP10-induced deubiquitination of TRAF6 in response to DNA damage. May control negatively TRAF2-mediated NF-kappa-B activation signaled by CD40, TNFR1 and TNFR2. |
