motifs/domains
  • a cytoplasmic domain
  • two fibronectin type-III domains
  • two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains
  • a IFNGR1 270-LI-271 dileucine motif, previously thought to be involved in this receptor endocytosis, showed to be unnecessary for receptor endocytosis
  • the YDKPH sequence near the C-terminus, required for IFNG-dependent cellular responses through STAT1 binding
  • mono polymer monomer

    basic FUNCTION
  • ligand-binding chain (alpha) of the heterodimeric gamma interferon receptor
  • host IFNGR1 signaling controls the magnitude of CD8(+) T cell responses and subsequent memory differentiation under lymphopenic and nonlymphopenic conditions
  • IFNGR1 signaling regulates autoimmune, but not the foreign antigen-driven, germinal centers and T helper cell (TFH cell) responses
