Summary

NISCH (nischarin, HGNC:18006) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.1, encoding Nischarin (Q9Y2I1). Acts either as the functional imidazoline-1 receptor (I1R) candidate or as a membrane-associated mediator of the I1R signaling. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 20.0% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a nonadrenergic imidazoline-1 receptor protein that localizes to the cytosol and anchors to the inner layer of the plasma membrane. The orthologous mouse protein has been shown to influence cytoskeletal organization and cell migration by binding to alpha-5-beta-1 integrin. In humans, this protein has been shown to bind to the adapter insulin receptor substrate 4 (IRS4) to mediate translocation of alpha-5 integrin from the cell membrane to endosomes. Expression of this protein was reduced in human breast cancers while its overexpression reduced tumor growth and metastasis; possibly by limiting the expression of alpha-5 integrin. In human cardiac tissue, this gene was found to affect cell growth and death while in neural tissue it affected neuronal growth and differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding differerent isoforms. Some isoforms lack the expected C-terminal domains of a functional imidazoline receptor.

Function. Acts either as the functional imidazoline-1 receptor (I1R) candidate or as a membrane-associated mediator of the I1R signaling. Binds numerous imidazoline ligands that induces initiation of cell-signaling cascades triggering to cell survival, growth and migration. Its activation by the agonist rilmenidine induces an increase in phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases MAPK1 and MAPK3 in rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) neurons that exhibited rilmenidine-evoked hypotension. Blocking its activation with efaroxan abolished rilmenidine-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in RVLM neurons. Acts as a modulator of Rac-regulated signal transduction pathways. Suppresses Rac1-stimulated cell migration by interacting with PAK1 and inhibiting its kinase activity. Also blocks Pak-independent Rac signaling by interacting with RAC1 and inhibiting Rac1-stimulated NF-kB response element and cyclin D1 promoter activation. Also inhibits LIMK1 kinase activity by reducing LIMK1 ‘Tyr-508’ phosphorylation. Inhibits Rac-induced cell migration and invasion in breast and colon epithelial cells. Inhibits lamellipodia formation, when overexpressed. Plays a role in protection against apoptosis. Involved in association with IRS4 in the enhancement of insulin activation of MAPK1 and MAPK3. When overexpressed, induces a redistribution of cell surface ITGA5 integrin to intracellular endosomal structures.

Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with GRB2. Interacts with PIK3R1; probably associates with the PI3-kinase complex. Interacts with IRS4. Found in a complex with ITGA5 and PAK1. Found in a complex with LIMK1 and PAK1. Interacts with ITGA5 (via cytoplasmic domain); this interaction is direct. Interacts with PAK1 (via kinase domain); this interaction is direct and is increased upon activation of PAK1. Interacts with LIMK1 (via PDZ and kinase domain); this interaction is direct. Interacts with LIMK2; this interaction depends on LIMK2 activity. Interacts with RAC1 (activated state). Interacts with STK11; this interaction may increase STK11 activity.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Early endosome. Recycling endosome.

Tissue specificity. Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in brain. Isoform 1 is expressed in endocrine tissues.

Domain organisation. Both the presence of the PX domain and the coiled coil region are necessary for its endosomal targeting.
