Pathway link TAX1BP1-TBK1

TAX1BP1 TBK1

TAX1BP1 recruits TBK1.

TAX1BP1 brings the kinase TBK1 to the lysosome.

TAX1BP1 acts as the adaptor that brings TBK1 onto stressed lysosomes, putting the kinase next to its substrate FNIP1.

The conditions it holds under

Studies behind it

YearEvidenceStudy
2026 M A TBK1/ULK1 signalling axis couples lysosomal stress to TFEB activation.ESP2026 Identifies a nutrient-independent lysosomal pathway in which v-ATPase recruits TBK1/ULK1 to phosphorylate FNIP1, inhibiting the FLCN:FNIP complex and releasing TFEB for nuclear translocation; recurrent ATP6V1B2 mutations found in follicular lymphoma patients constitutively hyperactivate this axis, driving TFEB-dependent tumor proliferation.

Points the other way

No study in the Atlas contradicts this link. That means none in this curated set, not none in the literature.
