Description

TGFB1I1 encodes a protein that functions as a transcriptional coactivator and adaptor protein in focal adhesions. It is induced by TGF-β1 and mediates signaling pathways involved in cell growth, differentiation, and cytoskeletal organization. The protein contains LIM domains and interacts with nuclear receptors and focal adhesion components.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Prostate cancer TGFB1I1 (ARA55) acts as an androgen receptor coactivator; altered expression may influence tumor progression PMID: 10644770
Breast cancer Overexpression correlates with poor prognosis; promotes cell migration and invasion via TGF-β signaling PMID: 22926525
Pulmonary fibrosis TGFB1I1 is upregulated in fibrotic lung tissue; mediates TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix production PMID: 20068192
Cardiac fibrosis Induced by TGF-β in cardiac fibroblasts; contributes to fibrotic remodeling PMID: 21907142

Pathways

• TGF-beta signaling pathway (Reactome: R-HSA-2173789)

• Androgen receptor signaling pathway (Reactome: R-HSA-5627123)

Protein Summary

The TGFB1I1 protein (HIC5/ARA55) is a 55 kDa LIM domain-containing protein that shuttles between the nucleus and focal adhesions. It acts as a coactivator for several transcription factors including the androgen receptor and Smad proteins. In the cytoplasm, it localizes to focal adhesions where it interacts with paxillin and FAK, regulating cell adhesion and migration. Its expression is induced by TGF-β and plays roles in fibrosis and cancer progression.
