PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • a Ub-like (UBL) domain required for the binding to RNF31 to assemble LUBAC
  • a N-terminal 170 AA stretch, which is not well characterized and is absent in RBCK1
  • a Npl4 zinc-finger (NZF) domain
  • shares significant similarity with the N-terminal region of RBCK1 that comprises the UBL and NZF domains and similar to RBCK1 binds ubiquitin via the NZF, whereas its UBL domain is responsible for the interaction with RNF31

    basic FUNCTION
  • is not an inert scaffold protein, but may play tumor-associated roles during cancer biogenesis
  • may be playing important regulating roles in bone metabolism
  • ubiquitin-binding and ubiquitin-like-domain-containing protein
  • functions as a novel component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC)
  • activates NF-KB and inhibits apoptosis via distinct pathways
  • potentially regulates mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in keratinocytes
  • might play a role in the TLR pathway
  • essential adaptor downstream of the branch point defined by the panr2 mutation in IKBKG
  • controls expression of a subset of TLR2-induced and NFKB– and AP1–dependent genes that overlaps with those affected by the hypomorphic panr2 mutation in IKBKG
  • an important inactivator of beta1-integrins in an RNAi screen
  • inhibits the critical switching of beta1-integrins from inactive to active conformations (
  • has the ability to self-associate into dimers but rather unexpectedly shows that dimerization is not mediated by a coiled coil but that SHARPIN utilizes the pleckstrin homology (PH) superfold as a dimerization module instead

    causes IHES (idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome) with eosinophilic dermatitis by NF-kB activation, and bortezomib may be an effective treatment for skin problems of IHES
    constitutional        
    loss of SHARPIN, similar to loss of Gadkin (AP1AR), is associated with an elevated propensity of cell to migrate, suggesting that signal-dependent control of cell shape and motility is under spatiotemporal control imparted by activators and inhibitors acting at multiple stages of the pathway

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mutations in the mouse Sharpin gene cause a chronic proliferative dermatitis phenotype, characterized by severe inflammation, eosinophilic dermatitis and defects in secondary lymphoid organ development
  • loss of function of Sharpin leads to activation of NF-KB signaling in skin, resulting in the development of an idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) with eosinophilic dermatitis in C57BL/KaLawRij-Sharpin(cpdm)/RijSunJ mice
  • siRNA-mediated knockdown of SIPL1 expression inhibited the growth of both HeLa cells and DU145 human prostate carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft tumor model
  • loss of SHARPIN causes chronic dermatitis and an immunodeficiency in mice
  • Fibroblasts, leukocytes and keratinocytes from SHARPIN-deficient mice exhibited increased beta1-integrin activity
