Intracellular

Cell type enhanced (Distal enterocytes, Paneth cells, Urothelial cells)

Low immune cell specificity

Low cell line specificity

Homodimer (PubMed:12539043). Found in a multi-helicase-TICAM1 complex at least composed of DHX36, DDX1, DDX21 and TICAM1; this complex exists in resting cells with or without poly(I:C) RNA ligand stimulation. Interacts (via TIR domain) with DDX21 (via C-terminus). Interacts (via TIR domain) with DHX36 (via C-terminus) (By similarity). Interacts with AZI2 and IRF7 (PubMed:12471095, PubMed:15611223). Interacts with TICAM2 in TLR4 recruitment (PubMed:12721283, PubMed:25736436). Interaction with PIAS4 inhibits the TICAM1-induced NF-kappa-B, IRF and IFNB1 activation (PubMed:15251447). Interacts with IKBKB and IKBKE. Interaction with SARM1 blocks TICAM1-dependent transcription factor activation (PubMed:16964262). Interacts with TRAF3 (By similarity). Interacts (when phosphorylated) with IRF3; following activation and phosphorylation on the pLxIS motif by TBK1, recruits IRF3 (PubMed:12471095, PubMed:14739303, PubMed:25636800, PubMed:27302953). Interacts with TBK1, TRAF6 and RIPK1 and these interactions are enhanced in the presence of WDFY1 (PubMed:14982987, PubMed:25736436). Interacts with TRAFD1 (By similarity). Interacts with UBQLN1 (via UBA domain) (PubMed:21695056). Interacts with TLR4 in response to LPS in a WDFY1-dependent manner (By similarity). Interacts with WDFY1 in response to poly(I:C) (By similarity). Interacts (via the TIR domain) with TLR3 in response to poly(I:C) and this interaction is enhanced in the presence of WDFY1 (PubMed:25736436). Interacts with TRIM56 (PubMed:22948160). Component of a multi-helicase-TICAM1 complex that acts as a cytoplasmic sensor of viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and plays a role in the activation of a cascade of antiviral responses including the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (By similarity). Interacts (via the TIR domain) with TLR5 (PubMed:20855887). Interacts with TRIM8 (PubMed:28747347). (Microbial infection) Interacts with hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease; this interaction leads to TICAM1 cleavage, thereby disrupting TLR3 signaling and preventing the establishment of an antiviral state. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Seneca Valley virus protease 3C; this interaction allows the cleavage of TICAM1/TRIF and subsequent suppression of host innate immunity. (Microbial infection) Interacts (via C-terminus) with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) protease 3C.
