Summary
Atrophin-1 contains a polyglutamine repeat, expansion of which is responsible for dentatorubral and pallidoluysian atrophy. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with atrophin-1. This encoded protein is a closely related member of the NEDD4-like protein family. This family of proteins are E3 ubiquitin-ligase molecules and regulate key trafficking decisions, including targeting of proteins to proteosomes or lysosomes. This encoded protein contains four tandem WW domains and a HECT (homologous to the E6-associated protein carboxyl terminus) domain. It can act as a transcriptional corepressor of p45/NFE2 and may participate in the regulation of immune responses by modifying Notch-mediated signaling. It is highly similar to the mouse Itch protein, which has been implicated in the regulation and differentiation of erythroid and lymphoid cells. [provided by RefSeq]

PubMed 1. SPG20 is ubiquitinated and interacts with AIP4 and AIP5.
PubMed 2. AIP4 can interact directly with CXCR4 via a novel noncanonical WW domain-mediated interaction involving serine residues 324 and 325 within the carboxy-terminal tail of CXCR4.
PubMed 3. Itch protein is a key regulatory locus for Epidermal Growth Factor receptor degradation.
PubMed 4. Data show that the small PY-containing membrane proteins, NDFIP1 and NDFIP2 (NEDD4 family-interacting proteins), activate the catalytic activity of ITCH and of several other HECT ligases by binding to them.
PubMed 5. Ectopic expression of miR106b in CLL cells demonstrated that Itch was a direct target of miR106b such that miR106b-induced decreases in Itch resulted in an accumulation of p73.
PubMed 6. These data suggests that caspase-dependent Itch cleavage might be an important regulator of Itch at the endogenous level under both physiological and stressed conditions.
PubMed 7. Itch gene sequence is highly conserved in healthy subjects; no relevant SNPs located in putative functional regions of Itch were found in atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis patients
