Function
Plays a key role in both adaptive and innate immune signaling by bridging CARD domain-containing proteins to immune activation. Acts by channeling adaptive and innate immune signaling downstream of CARD domain-containing proteins CARD9, CARD11 and CARD14 to activate NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and/or MAPK14) pathways which stimulate expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Recruited by activated CARD domain-containing proteins: homooligomerized CARD domain-containing proteins form a nucleating helical template that recruits BCL10 via CARD-CARD interaction, thereby promoting polymerization of BCL10, subsequent recruitment of MALT1 and formation of a CBM complex.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region; Membrane raft
Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous
Disease Association: [A chromosomal aberration involving BCL10 is recurrent in low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). Translocation t(1;14)(p22;q32). Although the BCL10/IgH translocation leaves the coding region of BCL10 intact, frequent BCL10 mutations could be attributed to the Ig somatic hypermutation mechanism resulting in nucleotide transitions] | Immunodeficiency 37 (IMD37) : A form of primary combined immunodeficiency, a group of disorders characterized by severe recurrent infections, with normal numbers or an absence of T and B lymphocytes, and impaired cellular and humoral immunity. IMD37 is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia without lymphopenia, but with profoundly reduced memory B cells and memory T cells, and increased numbers of circulating naive lymphocytes. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid type (MALTOMA) : A subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, originating in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. MALT lymphomas occur most commonly in the gastro-intestinal tract but have been described in a variety of extranodal sites including the ocular adnexa, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, thymus, and breast. Histologically, they are characterized by an infiltrate of small to medium-sized lymphocytes with abundant cytoplasm and irregularly shaped nuclei. Scattered transformed blasts (large cells) also are present. Non-malignant reactive follicles are observed frequently. A pivotal feature is the presence of lymphoepithelial lesions, with invasion and partial destruction of mucosal glands and crypts by aggregates of tumor cells.
