Summary
IL4I1 (interleukin 4 induced 1, HGNC:19094) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.33, encoding L-amino-acid oxidase (Q96RQ9). Secreted L-amino-acid oxidase that acts as a key immunoregulator.
This gene encodes a secreted L-amino acid oxidase protein which primarily catabolizes L-phenylalanine and, to a lesser extent, L-arginine. The expression of this gene is induced by the cytokine interleukin 4 in B cells. This gene is also expressed in macrophages and dendritic cells. This protein may play a role immune system escape as it is expressed in tumor-associated macrophages and suppresses T-cell responses. This protein also contains domains thought to be involved in the binding of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Some transcripts of this gene share a promoter and exons of the 5’ UTR with the overlapping NUP62 gene.

Function. Secreted L-amino-acid oxidase that acts as a key immunoregulator. Has preference for L-aromatic amino acids: converts phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) to phenylpyruvic acid (PP), hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (HPP), and indole-3-pyruvic acid (I3P), respectively. Also has weak L-arginine oxidase activity. Acts as a negative regulator of anti-tumor immunity by mediating Trp degradation via an indole pyruvate pathway that activates the transcription factor AHR. IL4I1-mediated Trp catabolism generates I3P, giving rise to indole metabolites (indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-aldehyde (I3A)) and kynurenic acid, which act as ligands for AHR, a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays important roles in immunity and cancer. AHR activation by indoles following IL4I1-mediated Trp degradation enhances tumor progression by promoting cancer cell motility and suppressing adaptive immunity. Also has an immunoregulatory function in some immune cells, probably by mediating Trp degradation and promoting downstream AHR activation: inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation, promotes the differentiation of naive CD4(+) T-cells into FOXP3(+) regulatory T-cells (Treg) and regulates the development and function of B-cells. Also regulates M2 macrophage polarization by inhibiting T-cell activation. Also has antibacterial properties by inhibiting growth of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria through the production of NH4(+) and H2O2.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Lysosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle. Acrosome.
Tissue specificity. Primarily found in immune tissues, with the highest expression in lymph nodes and spleen. Present in germinal center macrophages and inflammatory myeloid cells and antigen-presenting cells (at protein level). Also present in spermatozoa (at protein level). Highly expressed in primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, a specific subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Expressed by neoplastic cells of several B-cell lymphomas and by tumor-associated macrophages.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Activity regulation. L-amino-acid oxidase activity toward phenylalanine (Phe) is specfically inhibited by a number of Phe derivatives, such as Cp3 (ethyl 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)propanoate) or Cp2-SO4. Cp3 is a very potent inhibitor for activity toward phenylalanine but is toxic. In contrast, Cp2-SO4 is less efficient but not toxic and is able to reverse immunosuppressive action of IL4I1 in vitro.
Induction. By IL4/interleukin-4. Expression is up-regulated in numerous cancer and metastasis: expression is induced by immune checkpoint blockade.
Pathway. Amino-acid degradation; L-tryptophan degradation via pyruvate pathway.
Miscellaneous. Uses the promoter of the upstream NUP62 gene and shares the first 2 non-coding exons with NUP62.
Similarity. Belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. FIG1 subfamily.
