Summary

CARD11 (caspase recruitment domain family member 11, HGNC:16393) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p22.2, encoding Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 11 (Q9BXL7). Adapter protein that plays a key role in adaptive immune response by transducing the activation of NF-kappa-B downstream of T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) engagement.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family, a class of proteins that functions as molecular scaffolds for the assembly of multiprotein complexes at specialized regions of the plasma membrane. This protein is also a member of the CARD protein family, which is defined by carrying a characteristic caspase-associated recruitment domain (CARD). This protein has a domain structure similar to that of CARD14 protein. The CARD domains of both proteins have been shown to specifically interact with BCL10, a protein known to function as a positive regulator of cell apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation. When expressed in cells, this protein activated NF-kappaB and induced the phosphorylation of BCL10.

Function. Adapter protein that plays a key role in adaptive immune response by transducing the activation of NF-kappa-B downstream of T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) engagement. Transduces signals downstream TCR or BCR activation via the formation of a multiprotein complex together with BCL10 and MALT1 that induces NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and/or MAPK14) pathways. Upon activation in response to TCR or BCR triggering, CARD11 homooligomerizes to form a nucleating helical template that recruits BCL10 via CARD-CARD interaction, thereby promoting polymerization of BCL10 and subsequent recruitment of MALT1: this leads to I-kappa-B kinase (IKK) phosphorylation and degradation, and release of NF-kappa-B proteins for nuclear translocation. Its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Promotes linear ubiquitination of BCL10 by promoting the targeting of BCL10 to RNF31/HOIP. Stimulates the phosphorylation of BCL10. Also activates the TORC1 signaling pathway.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Homomultimer; polymerizes following activation, forming a nucleating helical template that seeds BCL10-filament formation via a CARD-CARD interaction. Interacts (via CARD domain) with BCL10 (via CARD domain); interaction takes place following CARD11 activation and polymerization, leading to the formation of a filamentous CBM complex assembly. Component of a CBM complex (CARD11-BCL10-MALT1) complex involved in NF-kappa-B activation. Found in a membrane raft complex, at least composed of BCL10, CARD11, DPP4 and IKBKB. Interacts (via PDZ domain) with DPP4 (via cytoplasmic tail).

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane raft.

Tissue specificity. Detected in adult peripheral blood leukocytes, thymus, spleen and liver. Also found in promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, chronic myelogenous leukemia K-562 cells, Burkitt’s lymphoma Raji cells and colorectal adenocarcinoma SW480 cells. Not detected in HeLaS3, MOLT-4, A-549 and G431 cells.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Ser-559, Ser-644 and Ser-652 by PRKCB and PRKCQ leads to a shift from an inactive to an active form that activates the NF-kappa-B signaling.

Disease relevance. B-cell expansion with NFKB and T-cell anergy (BENTA) [MIM:616452] An autosomal dominant condition characterized by onset in infancy of splenomegaly and polyclonal expansion of B cells, resulting in peripheral lymphocytosis. Affected individuals also show mild immune dysfunction, including some defective antibody responses and T-cell anergy. There may be a predisposition to the development of B-cell malignancy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Immunodeficiency 11 A (IMD11A) [MIM:615206] An autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by normal numbers of T and B-lymphocytes, but defective intracellular signaling. There is a block in B-cell differentiation with increased numbers of transitional B-cells and hypogammaglobulinemia, as well as decreased numbers of regulatory T-cells and defects in T-cell function. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Immunodeficiency 11B with atopic dermatitis (IMD11B) [MIM:617638] An autosomal dominant disorder of immune dysfunction characterized by onset of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in early childhood. Some patients may have recurrent infections and other variable immune abnormalities. Laboratory studies show defects in T-cell activation, increased IgE, and eosinophilia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Maintained in an autoinhibited state via homodimerization in which the CARD domain forms an extensive interaction with the adjacent linker and coiled-coil regions. Activation downstream of T-cell receptor (TCR) by phosphorylation by PRKCB and PRKCQ triggers CARD11 homooligomerization and BCL10 recruitment, followed by activation of NF-kappa-B.

Domain organisation. The linker region, also named autoinhibitory interface, is less inhibitory on its own than that of CARD9. The linker region together with the inhibitory domain (ID) are required to prevent constitutive activation and maintain CARD11 in an autoinhibitory state. Disruption of the inhibitory domain (ID) region triggers polymerization and activation, leading to formation of BCL10-nucleating filaments.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 178 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
