IL1B

Interleukin-1 beta UniProt accession P01584

Potent pro-inflammatory cytokine (PubMed:10653850, PubMed:12794819, PubMed:28331908, PubMed:3920526). Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B-cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production (PubMed:3920526). Promotes Th17 differentiation of T-cells.

Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells (PubMed:10653850). Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production synergistically with TNF and IL6 (PubMed:12794819). Involved in transduction of inflammation downstream of pyroptosis: its mature form is specifically released in the extracellular milieu by passing through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore (PubMed:33377178, PubMed:33883744).

Acts as a sensor of S.pyogenes infection in skin: cleaved and activated by pyogenes SpeB protease, leading to an inflammatory response that prevents bacterial growth during invasive skin infection (PubMed:28331908)

Monomer. In its precursor form, weakly interacts with full-length MEFV; the mature cytokine does not interact at all (PubMed:17431422). Interacts with integrins ITGAV:ITGBV and ITGA5:ITGB1; integrin-binding is required for IL1B signaling (PubMed:29030430).

Interacts with cargo receptor TMED10; the interaction is direct and is required for the secretion of IL1B mature form (PubMed:32272059). Interacts with HSP90AB1; the interaction facilitates cargo translocation into the ERGIC (PubMed:32272059). Interacts with HSP90B1; the interaction facilitates cargo translocation into the ERGIC (PubMed:32272059)
