| description | Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 19-like (TNFRSF19L), also known as receptor expressed in lymphoid tissues (RELT), is especially abundant in hematologic tissues and can stimulate the proliferation of T-cells []. It serves as a substrate for the closely related kinases, odd-skipped related transcription factor 1 (OSR1) and STE20/SPS1-related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) [, ]; RELT binds SPAK and uses it to mediate p38 and JNK activation, rather than rely on the canonical TRAF pathways for its function. RELT is capable of stimulating T-cell proliferation in the presence of CD3 signaling, which suggests its regulatory role in immune response. It interacts with phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1), an interferon-inducible protein that mediates antiviral activity against DNA and RNA viruses; PLSCR1 is a regulator of hepatitis B virus X (HBV X) protein. RELT and PLSCR1 co-localize in intracellular regions of human embryonic kidney-293 cells, with RELT over-expression appearing to alter the localization of PLSCR1 [].This entry represents the N-terminal domain of TNFRSF19L. TNF-receptors are modular proteins. The N-terminal extracellular part contains a cysteine-rich region responsible for ligand-binding. This region is composed of small modules of about 40 residues containing 6 conserved cysteines; the number and type of modules can vary in different members of the family [, , ]. |
