Abstract
The family of interferon-inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are small homologous proteins, localised in the plasma and endolysosomal membranes, which confer cellular resistance to many viruses. In addition, several distinct functions have been associated with different IFITM family members, including germ cell specification (IFITM1-IFITM3), osteoblast function and bone mineralisation (IFITM5) and immune functions (IFITM1-3, IFITM6). IFITM1-3 are expressed by T cells and recent experiments have shown that the IFITM proteins are directly involved in adaptive immunity and that they regulate CD4+ T helper cell differentiation in a T cell intrinsic manner. Here we review the role of the IFITM proteins in T cell differentiation and function.
