Gene Description

TOLLIP encodes Toll-interacting protein, a non-enzymatic ubiquitin/phosphoinositide-binding adaptor that links endosomal membranes, TOM1/clathrin-associated trafficking, and TLR/IL-1 receptor signaling. Its core roles are CUE-domain ubiquitin recognition, C2-domain membrane/endosome targeting, PI3P-dependent endolysosomal routing of ubiquitinated or aberrant cargo, and regulated restraint of IRAK-dependent innate immune signaling.

GO:0031624 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: The evidence supports CUE-domain recognition of ubiquitin conjugates rather than a specific ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme binding function.
Reason: ubiquitin conjugating enzyme binding is less precise than the supported TOLLIP mechanism.

Summary: Generic signal transduction should be refined to the IL-1R/TLR receptor signaling context supported for TOLLIP.
Reason: signal transduction is less precise than the supported TOLLIP mechanism.

TOLLIP is best understood as a **multifunctional adaptor/regulator** that couples **ubiquitin recognition** and **membrane/endosomal phosphoinositide recognition** to (i) **tuning innate immune receptor signaling** (TLR/IL‑1R pathways) and (ii) **sorting/trafficking of ubiquitinated or aberrant proteins toward endolysosomal degradation**

Summary: TOLLIP is phosphorylated by BLK during signaling, but TOLLIP is not a kinase and should not be annotated to phosphorylation as an activity/process it performs.
Reason: TOLLIP is a phosphorylation-regulated adaptor, not an enzyme that catalyzes phosphorylation.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/TOLLIP/TOLLIP-deep-research-falcon.md
BLK binding and phosphorylation promote **dissociation of TOLLIP from IRAK1**, exposing IRAK1 phosphorylation sites (ProST region) and enabling **IRAK1 hyperphosphorylation**, downstream **NF‑κB activation**, and inflammatory cytokine responses

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: leukocyte activation is plausible as a context-specific or secondary TOLLIP-associated annotation, but it is not the most precise core function.
Reason: leukocyte activation is secondary to TOLLIP ubiquitin/membrane adaptor and TLR/IL-1R signaling roles.
