Receptor subunit for interferon gamma/INFG that plays crucial roles in antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor responses by activating effector immune cells and enhancing antigen presentation (PubMed:20015550). Associates with transmembrane accessory factor IFNGR2 to form a functional receptor (PubMed:7615558, PubMed:2971451, PubMed:7617032, PubMed:10986460, PubMed:7673114). Upon ligand binding, the intracellular domain of IFNGR1 opens out to allow association of downstream signaling components JAK1 and JAK2. In turn, activated JAK1 phosphorylates IFNGR1 to form a docking site for STAT1. Subsequent phosphorylation of STAT1 leads to dimerization, translocation to the nucleus, and stimulation of target gene transcription (PubMed:28883123). STAT3 can also be activated in a similar manner although activation seems weaker. IFNGR1 intracellular domain phosphorylation also provides a docking site for SOCS1 that regulates the JAK-STAT pathway by competing with STAT1 binding to IFNGR1 (By similarity). Monomer (PubMed:9367779). Heterodimer with IFNGR2, to form the IFNG receptor complex (PubMed:7615558). Interacts with JAK1 (PubMed:7615558). Interacts (when phosphorylated) with STAT1 (PubMed:8156998). Interacts with SOCS1 (By similarity). Phosphorylated at Ser/Thr residues. Phosphorylation of Tyr-457 is required for IFNG receptor signal transduction (PubMed:8156998). Influenza virus infection leads to phosphorylation in a CSNK1A1-dependent manner (PubMed:29343571). Ubiquitinated after phosphorylation in a CSNK1A1-dependent manner, leading to the lysosome-dependent degradation (PubMed:29343571). Proteasomally degraded through 'Lys-48'-mediated ubiquitination (PubMed:28883123). Ubiquitination is necessary for efficient IFNGR1 signaling (PubMed:28883123). A genetic variation in the IFNGR1 gene is associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori infection [MIM:600263]. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Belongs to the type II cytokine receptor family. IFNGR1 mutation db
