Summary

ERBB4 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4, HGNC:3432) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q34, encoding Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 (Q15303). Tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role as cell surface receptor for neuregulins and EGF family members and regulates development of the heart, the central nervous system and the mammary gland, gene transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and a…. In precision oncology, ERBB4 Mutation confers sensitivity to Lapatinib in Melanoma (CIViC Level D); 3 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below.

This gene is a member of the Tyr protein kinase family and the epidermal growth factor receptor subfamily. It encodes a single-pass type I membrane protein with multiple cysteine rich domains, a transmembrane domain, a tyrosine kinase domain, a phosphotidylinositol-3 kinase binding site and a PDZ domain binding motif. The protein binds to and is activated by neuregulins and other factors and induces a variety of cellular responses including mitogenesis and differentiation. Multiple proteolytic events allow for the release of a cytoplasmic fragment and an extracellular fragment. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cancer. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described; however, not all variants have been fully characterized.

Function. Tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role as cell surface receptor for neuregulins and EGF family members and regulates development of the heart, the central nervous system and the mammary gland, gene transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Required for normal cardiac muscle differentiation during embryonic development, and for postnatal cardiomyocyte proliferation. Required for normal development of the embryonic central nervous system, especially for normal neural crest cell migration and normal axon guidance. Required for mammary gland differentiation, induction of milk proteins and lactation. Acts as cell-surface receptor for the neuregulins NRG1, NRG2, NRG3 and NRG4 and the EGF family members BTC, EREG and HBEGF. Ligand binding triggers receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation at specific tyrosine residues that then serve as binding sites for scaffold proteins and effectors. Ligand specificity and signaling is modulated by alternative splicing, proteolytic processing, and by the formation of heterodimers with other ERBB family members, thereby creating multiple combinations of intracellular phosphotyrosines that trigger ligand- and context-specific cellular responses. Mediates phosphorylation of SHC1 and activation of the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1. Isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1 phosphorylate PIK3R1, leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and AKT1 and protect cells against apoptosis. Isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1 mediate reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and promote cell migration in response to NRG1. Isoform JM-A CYT-2 and isoform JM-B CYT-2 lack the phosphotyrosine that mediates interaction with PIK3R1, and hence do not phosphorylate PIK3R1, do not protect cells against apoptosis, and do not promote reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and cell migration. Proteolytic processing of isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-A CYT-2 gives rise to the corresponding soluble intracellular domains (4ICD) that translocate to the nucleus, promote nuclear import of STAT5A, activation of STAT5A, mammary epithelium differentiation, cell proliferation and activation of gene expression. The ERBB4 soluble intracellular domains (4ICD) colocalize with STAT5A at the CSN2 promoter to regulate transcription of milk proteins during lactation. The ERBB4 soluble intracellular domains can also translocate to mitochondria and promote apoptosis.

Subunit / interactions. Monomer in the absence of bound ligand. Homodimer or heterodimer with another ERBB family member upon ligand binding, thus forming heterotetramers. Interacts with EGFR and ERBB2. Interacts with CBFA2T3. Interacts with DLG2 (via its PDZ domain), DLG3 (via its PDZ domain), DLG4 (via its PDZ domain) and SNTB2 (via its PDZ domain). Interacts with MUC1. Interacts (via its PPxy motifs) with WWOX. Interacts (via the PPxY motif 3 of isoform JM-A CYT-2) with YAP1 (via the WW domain 1 of isoform 1). Interacts (isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1) with WWP1. Interacts (via its intracellular domain) with TRIM28. Interacts (via the intracellular domains of both CYT-1 and CYT-2 isoforms) with KAP1; the interaction does not phosphorylate KAP1 but represses ERBB4-mediated transcriptional activity. Interacts with PRPU, DDX23, MATR3, RBM15, ILF3, KAP1, U5S1, U2SURP, ITCH, HNRNPU, AP2A1, NULC, LEO1, WWP2, IGHG1, HXK1, GRB7 and SRRT. Interacts (phosphorylated isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1) with PIK3R1. Interacts with SHC1. Interacts with GRB2. Interacts (soluble intracellular domain) with STAT5A. Interacts (soluble intracellular domain) with BCL2. Interacts (phosphorylated) with STAT1.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane Nucleus. Mitochondrion.

Tissue specificity. Expressed at highest levels in brain, heart, kidney, in addition to skeletal muscle, parathyroid, cerebellum, pituitary, spleen, testis and breast. Lower levels in thymus, lung, salivary gland, and pancreas. Isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1 are expressed in cerebellum, but only the isoform JM-B is expressed in the heart.

Post-translational modifications. Isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-A CYT-2 are processed by ADAM17. Proteolytic processing in response to ligand or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate stimulation results in the production of 120 kDa soluble receptor forms and intermediate membrane-anchored 80 kDa fragments (m80HER4), which are further processed by a presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase to release a cytoplasmic intracellular domain (E4ICD; E4ICD1/s80Cyt1 or E4ICD2/s80Cyt2, depending on the isoform). Membrane-anchored 80 kDa fragments of the processed isoform JM-A CYT-1 are more readily degraded by the proteasome than fragments of isoform JM-A CYT-2, suggesting a prevalence of E4ICD2 over E4ICD1. Isoform JM-B CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-2 lack the ADAM17 cleavage site and are not processed by ADAM17, precluding further processing by gamma-secretase. Autophosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to ligand binding. Autophosphorylation occurs in trans, i.e. one subunit of the dimeric receptor phosphorylates tyrosine residues on the other subunit. Ligands trigger phosphorylation at specific tyrosine residues, thereby creating binding sites for scaffold proteins and effectors. Constitutively phosphorylated at a basal level when overexpressed in heterologous systems; ligand binding leads to increased phosphorylation. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1035 is important for interaction with STAT1. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1056 is important for interaction with PIK3R1. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1242 is important for interaction with SHC1. Phosphorylation at Tyr-1188 may also contribute to the interaction with SHC1. Isoform JM-A CYT-2 is constitutively phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in a ligand-independent manner. E4ICD2 but not E4ICD1 is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Ubiquitinated. During mitosis, the ERBB4 intracellular domain is ubiquitinated by the APC/C complex and targeted to proteasomal degradation. Isoform JM-A CYT-1 and isoform JM-B CYT-1 are ubiquitinated by WWP1. The ERBB4 intracellular domain (E4ICD1) is ubiquitinated, and this involves NEDD4.

Disease relevance. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 19 (ALS19) [MIM:615515] A neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease include pallor of the corticospinal tract due to loss of motor neurons, presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions within surviving motor neurons, and deposition of pathologic aggregates. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of the cases. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Binding of a cognate ligand leads to dimerization and activation by autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues. In vitro kinase activity is increased by Mg(2+). Inhibited by PD153035, lapatinib, gefitinib (iressa, ZD1839), AG1478 and BIBX1382BS.

Miscellaneous. Proteolytical processing generates E4ICD1 (s80Cyt1). Proteolytical processing generates E4ICD2 (s80Cyt2).

Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. EGF receptor subfamily.

Disease & clinical

Cancer significance

From CIViC — curated cancer-variant interpretation:

ErbB4 (HER4) is one of the four members in the EGFR subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. Ligands include EGF, epiregulin, betacellulin and the neuregulins (Sundvall et. al.). Of these, NRG3 and NRG4 exclusively bind HER4 (Hynes et. al.). Mutations in ERBB4 have been identified in various cancer types including melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma and medulloblastoma. A therapeutic value of these aberrations still remains unknown (Arteaga et. al.).

From intOGen — cancer-driver classification: loss-of-function (tumor-suppressor-like) across 10 cancer types — BLCA, BRCA, CCRCC, CHOL, COADREAD, ESCA, HCC, MEL, PRAD, STAD.

intOGen’s role is a computational inference from cohort mutation patterns and may diverge from the gene’s curated/literature role; read it alongside the evidence above.

Drug and pharmacology data

Is drug target: yes

ChEMBL targets (2): CHEMBL2363049 (PROTEIN FAMILY), CHEMBL3009 (SINGLE PROTEIN)

Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)

Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the ERBB4 protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.

7 curated-mechanism drugs:

Drugs acting on a complex or family that includes this protein

Curated ChEMBL mechanism-of-action drugs whose target is a protein complex or family of ≤10 members that includes ERBB4 — the drug acts on the assembly or class, not necessarily on this subunit alone.

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity

Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 430,772 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
