In Drosophila, rhomboid proteases are active cardinal regulators of epidermal
growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway. iRhom1 and iRhom2, which are
inactive homologs of rhomboid intramembrane serine proteases, are lacking
essential catalytic residues. These are necessary for maturation and
traffickingof tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) converting enzyme (TACE) from
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to plasma membrane through Golgi, and associated with
the fates of various ligands for EGFR. Recent studies have clarifiedthat the
activation or downregulation of EGFR signaling pathways by alteration of iRhoms
are connected to several human diseases including tylosis with esophageal cancer
(TOC) which is the autosomal dominant syndrom, breast cancer, and Alzheimer's
disease. Thus, this review focuses on our understanding of iRhoms and the
involved mechanisms in the cellular processes.
