T-bet can also regulate Th1 cell differentiation by directly initiating gamma interferon (IFN-γ) transcription and by suppressing Th2-specific transcription factor  [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/3dfx GATA-3]<ref name="A novel transcription factor, T-bet, directs Th1 lineage commitment"> Szabo, S. J., Kim, S. T., Costa, G. L., Zhang, X., Fathman, C. G., & Glimcher, L. H. (2000). A novel transcription factor, T-bet, directs Th1 lineage commitment. Cell, 100(6), 655–669. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0092-8674(00)80702-3</ref>. The T-bet induced expression of IFN-γ derives Th precursor cells to differentiate into Th1 effector cells.

This stimulation of IFN-γ can take place thanks to the action of a nuclear tyrosine kinase, c-Abl. C-Abl induces phosphorylation of T-bet at tyrosine residues <scene name='86/868180/Tyr219/1'>TYR 219</scene>, <scene name='86/868180/Tyr265/1'>TYR 265</scene>, and <scene name='86/868180/Tyr304/1'>TYR 304</scene>. C-Abl phosphorylates the tyrosine residues within the T-box domain, which is the DNA-binding domain of T-bet. This phosphorylation leads to conformational changes of the T-box domain to facilitate the DNA-binding activity of T-bet and appears to play a crucial role in the IFN-γ promoter-binding activity of T-bet.

Recently, many studies have reported that T-bet also modulates other Th cell lineages, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_helper_17_cell Th17], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_T_cell Treg], and follicular Th (TFH) cells, in coordination with many transcription factors, such as the retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-𝛾t [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/6b30 (ROR𝛾t)] <ref name="T-bet represses T(H)17 differentiation by preventing Runx1-mediated activation of the gene encoding RORγt">DOI 10.1038/ni.1969</ref>, runt-related transcription factor 3 [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/3mpm (RUNX3)], and B-cell lymphoma-6 [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/3lbz (BCL6)]. These findings suggest that T-bet is a transcription factor that is critical for fine-tuning Th cell development.

Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells are the main cells involved in the pathophysiology of asthma <ref name="Effect of ginger extract on expression of GATA3, T-bet and ROR-γt in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with Allergic Asthma">DOI 10.1016/j.aller.2018.12.003</ref>. In asthmatic airways, Th2 cells are activated and release several cytokines <ref name="The role of protein modifications of T-bet in cytokine production and differentiation of T helper cells">DOI 10.1155/2014/589672</ref> that regulate IgE production and inflammatory cell recruitment, such as eosinophils. Th2 cells and GATA-3 play an important role in allergic inflammation and asthma, and induce IgE production. The asthmatic patients present high levels of total IgE. On the contrary, the T-bet gene expression and Th1 pattern, along with the IFN- γ production, are usually associated with non-allergic asthmatics and healthy subjects.<ref name="Asthma: T-bet--a master controller?">DOI 10.1016/s0960-9822(02)00830-8</ref>

In T-bet structure, ubiquitination takes place at <scene name='86/868180/Lys313/1'>LYS 313</scene>. It has an impact on the stability of the protein and leads to the degradation of the protein by the proteosome. Some research found the role of deubiquitinases involved in T-bet stability and function. As a deubiquitinase, USP10 belongs to the ubiquitin-specificprotease family of cysteine proteases. Cysteine 424 site on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USP10 USP10] is crucial for its hydrolase activity. Results have shown that USP10 could interact with T-bet and stabilize it via interaction between Lysine 313 (K313) of T-bet and Cysteine 424 of USP10. Deubiquitination inhibits its degradation by the proteosome and enhance the secretion of IFN- γ.

Researchers believe that the USP10-dependent T-bet deubiquitination and stabilization can regulate antigen induced immune disorder especially in Th1 specific inflammation. Thus, appropriate decreasing USP10 level may contribute to the T-bet degradation and inflammation attenuation. <ref name="Deubiquitination and stabilization of T-bet by USP10">DOI 10.1016/j.bbrc.2014.05.037</ref>
