Summary
ERC1 (ELKS/RAB6-interacting/CAST family member 1, HGNC:17072) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.33, encoding ELKS/Rab6-interacting/CAST family member 1 (Q8IUD2). Regulatory subunit of the IKK complex.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of RIM-binding proteins. RIMs are active zone proteins that regulate neurotransmitter release. This gene has been found fused to the receptor-type tyrosine kinase gene RET by gene rearrangement due to the translocation t(10;12)(q11;p13) in thyroid papillary carcinoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 15)
- Analysis of the gene structure of four isoforms (ELKS beta, ELKS gamma, ELKS delta, and ELKS epsilon) in a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma reveal that the isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. (PMID:12203787)
- In vitro results indicate that ERC2/CAST, an active zone-specific isoform, interacts with all of the known isoforms of liprin-alpha and that liprin-alpha1 associates with both ERC2 and ERC1b (PMID:12923177)
- ELKS likely functions by recruiting IkappaBalpha to the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex and thus serves a regulatory function for IKK activation (PMID:15218148)
- ERC1-PDGFRB fusion is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (PMID:17690697)
- ATM- and NEMO-dependent ubiquitination of ELKS leads to the ubiquitin-dependent assembly of TAK1/TAB2/3 and NEMO/IKK complexes, resulting in IKK and NF-kappaB activation following genotoxic stimuli. (PMID:20932476)
- a new, but rare, antigen in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (PMID:23583364)
- Liprin-alpha1, ERC1a and LL5 also define new highly polarized and dynamic cytoplasmic structures uniquely localized near the protruding cell edge (PMID:24982445)
- ELKS removal has differential, synapse-specific effects on readily releasable vesicles and probability of release, and findings establish important roles for ELKS N-terminal domains in synaptic vesicle priming. (PMID:27253063)
- The results indicate that liprin-alpha1, LL5 and ERC1 define a novel dynamic membrane-less compartment that regulates matrix degradation by affecting invadosome motility. (PMID:29348417)
- Several studies had established that ELKS is a redundant scaffold at the active zone, and that disruption of this scaffold impairs fusion of synaptic vesicles. In non-neuronal cells, scaffolding and exocytotic functions of ELKS seem to be important for constitutive secretion of other cargo. [review] (PMID:29491150)
- Knockdown of ERC1, RAB4B, COPA, and COPB2, caused profound loss of virus production. (PMID:29946045)
- The ELKS forms a potent insulin secretion complex with L-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels on the vascular-facing plasma membrane of beta-cells, enabling polarized Ca(2+) influx and first-phase insulin secretion from islets. (PMID:31500835)
- Volumetric GWAS of medial temporal lobe structures identifies an ERC1 locus using ADNI high-resolution T2-weighted MRI data. (PMID:32768867)
- Oligomerized liprin-alpha promotes phase separation of ELKS for compartmentalization of presynaptic active zone proteins. (PMID:33761347)
- Interfering with the ERC1-LL5beta interaction disrupts plasma membrane-Associated platforms and affects tumor cell motility. (PMID:37437062)

Function. Regulatory subunit of the IKK complex. Probably recruits IkappaBalpha/NFKBIA to the complex. May be involved in the organization of the cytomatrix at the nerve terminals active zone (CAZ) which regulates neurotransmitter release. May be involved in vesicle trafficking at the CAZ. May be involved in Rab-6 regulated endosomes to Golgi transport.
Subunit / interactions. Part of a complex with CHUK, IKBKB and IKBKG. Interacts with CHUK, IKBKB and IKBKG. The interaction with IKBKG is independent of CHUK and IKBKB. Interacts with NFKBIA. Isoform 4 interacts with PPFIA1, and through its C-terminus with the PDZ domains of RIMS1 and RIMS2. Interacts with ERC2/CAST1. Interacts with the GTB-bound forms of RAB6A isoform 1 and isoform 2 and with RAB6B. The interaction was strongest with RAB6B, followed by RAB6A isoform 2 and weakest with RAB6A isoform 1. Interacts with SDCCAG8. Part of a cortical microtubule stabilization complex (CMSC) composed of KANK1, PPFIA1, PPFIBP1, ERC1/ELKS, PHLDB2/LL5beta, CLASPs, KIF21A and possibly additional interactors; within CMSCs KANK1 and PHLDB2/LL5beta appear to be the core components for targeting of microtubule-binding proteins KIF21A and CLASPs, whereas PPFIA1, PPFIBP1 and ERC1/ELKS serve as scaffolds for protein clustering. Interacts (via N-terminus) with SRPK1 (via kinase domain) and SRPK2 (via kinase domain); the interaction is direct and may be involved in SRPK protein localization.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Presynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection. Podosome.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Isoform 2 and isoform 4 are abundantly expressed in brain. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are predominantly expressed in testis and thyroid, and isoform 1 predominates in other tissues tested.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated in an N-terminal region by SRPK1 and/or SRPK2.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving ERC1/RAB6IP2 is found in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). Translocation t(10;12)(q11;p13) involving RET. In vitro, isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 5 participating in a ERC1-RET fusion protein activate tyrosine-protein kinase activity.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 198 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.
