Summary
IFITM3 (interferon induced transmembrane protein 3, HGNC:5414) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.5, encoding Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (Q01628). IFN-induced antiviral protein which disrupts intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 96.0% of cancer cell lines).
Interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are a family of interferon induced antiviral proteins. The family contains five members, including IFITM1, IFITM2 and IFITM3 and belong to the CD225 superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene restricts cellular entry by diverse viral pathogens, such as influenza A virus, Ebola virus and Sars-CoV-2.

Function. IFN-induced antiviral protein which disrupts intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. Inhibits the entry of viruses to the host cell cytoplasm by preventing viral fusion with cholesterol depleted endosomes. May inactivate new enveloped viruses which buds out of the infected cell, by letting them go out with a cholesterol depleted membrane. Active against multiple viruses, including influenza A virus, SARS coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2), Marburg virus (MARV), Ebola virus (EBOV), Dengue virus (DNV), West Nile virus (WNV), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Can inhibit: influenza virus hemagglutinin protein-mediated viral entry, MARV and EBOV GP1,2-mediated viral entry, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 S protein-mediated viral entry and VSV G protein-mediated viral entry. Plays a critical role in the structural stability and function of vacuolar ATPase (v-ATPase). Establishes physical contact with the v-ATPase of endosomes which is critical for proper clathrin localization and is also required for the function of the v-ATPase to lower the pH in phagocytic endosomes thus establishing an antiviral state. In hepatocytes, IFITM proteins act in a coordinated manner to restrict HCV infection by targeting the endocytosed HCV virion for lysosomal degradation. IFITM2 and IFITM3 display anti-HCV activity that may complement the anti-HCV activity of IFITM1 by inhibiting the late stages of HCV entry, possibly in a coordinated manner by trapping the virion in the endosomal pathway and targeting it for degradation at the lysosome. Exerts opposing activities on SARS-CoV-2, including amphipathicity-dependent restriction of virus at endosomes and amphipathicity-independent enhancement of infection at the plasma membrane.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ATP6V0B. Interacts with CD81. Interacts with SPP1; the interaction reduces OPN expression. Interacts with VAPA. Interacts with BRI3 (isoforms 1 and 2); the interaction with isoform 2 is weaker than with isoform 1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Late endosome membrane. Early endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region.
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoylation on membrane-proximal cysteines controls clustering in membrane compartments and antiviral activity against influenza virus and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Has no effect on anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity. Not glycosylated. Polyubiquitinated with both ‘Lys-48’ and ‘Lys-63’ linkages. Ubiquitination negatively regulates antiviral activity. Lys-24 is the most prevalent ubiquitination site. Phosphorylation at Tyr-20 is required for endosomal and lysosomal location.
Induction. By IFN-alpha and IFNG/IFN-gamma.
Polymorphism. Genetic variations in IFITM3 are responsible for susceptibility to severe influenza virus infection [MIM:614680].
Similarity. Belongs to the CD225/Dispanin family.
