Also known as CTEN
Summary
TNS4 (tensin 4, HGNC:24352) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q21.2, encoding Tensin-4 (Q8IZW8). Promotes EGF-induced cell migration by displacing tensin TNS3 from the cytoplasmic tail of integrin ITGB1 which results in dissociation of TNS3 from focal adhesions, disassembly of actin stress fibers and initiation of cell migration.
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Involved in protein localization. Located in cytosol and focal adhesion.

Function. Promotes EGF-induced cell migration by displacing tensin TNS3 from the cytoplasmic tail of integrin ITGB1 which results in dissociation of TNS3 from focal adhesions, disassembly of actin stress fibers and initiation of cell migration. Suppresses ligand-induced degradation of EGFR by reducing EGFR ubiquitination in the presence of EGF. Increases MET protein stability by inhibiting MET endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation which leads to increased cell survival, proliferation and migration.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts (via SH2 domain) with Rho GTPase-activating protein DLC1 (via C-terminus); the interaction is independent of DLC1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Interacts with integrin ITGB1; the interaction displaces tensin TNS3 from the ITGB1 cytoplasmic tail and promotes ITGB1 stability. Interacts (via SH2 domain) with E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase CBL (phosphorylated on ‘Tyr-774’); the interaction is enhanced in the presence of EGF and reduces interaction of CBL with EGFR. Interacts (via SH2 domain) with receptor tyrosine kinase MET (when phosphorylated); the interaction increases MET protein stability.
Subcellular location. Cell junction. Focal adhesion. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Expressed at low levels in colon (at protein level). Expressed in prostate and placenta.
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis.
Induction. By EGF.
Miscellaneous. Expression is up-regulated in tumors from a variety of tissues including lung, breast, colon, pancreas, stomach and ovary but is down-regulated in prostate cancer. In colorectal cancer cells, induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) accompanied by down-regulation of CDH1/E-cadherin protein levels and increased cell migration. Contributes to cell motility in colorectal cancer cells by promoting EMT through its role in the post-transcriptional stabilization of SNAIL in an SH2-dependent manner which leads to increased cell migration. Detected in the nucleus in colon cancer cells where it interacts with CTNNB1/beta-catenin and modulates colony formation, anchorage-independent growth and cell invasiveness. Also detected in the nucleus in other cancer cells such as lung and cervical cancer cells where it promotes cell proliferation.
Similarity. Belongs to the PTEN phosphatase protein family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 37 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.
