RIOK3

Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in a ribosome quality control that takes place when ribosomes have stalled, leading to 18S non-functional rRNA decay and degradation of the 40S ribosomal subunit. Acts downstream of RNF10: specifically recognizes and binds RPS2/us5 and RPS3/us3 monoubiquitinated by RNF10, promoting degradation of the 40S ribosomal subunit in a kinase-dependent manner. The RNF10-RIOK3 ribosome quality control takes place in response to ribosome subunit imbalance or downstream the EIF2AK4/GCN2-mediated integrated stress response (ISR). Also involved in regulation of type I interferon (IFN)-dependent immune response, possibly by acting as an adapter protein essential for the recruitment of TBK1 to IRF3. Phosphorylates IFIH1 on 'Ser-828' interfering with IFIH1 filament assembly on long dsRNA and resulting in attenuated IFIH1-signaling. Can inhibit CASP10 isoform 7-mediated activation of the NF-kappa-B signaling pathway..
