Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced activation of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and germinal center kinases (GCKs) and the subsequent activation of stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinases) requires TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). Although the TRAF2 TRAF domain binds ASK1, GCK, and the highly related kinase GCKR, the RING finger domain is needed for their activation. Here, we report that TNF activates GCKR and the SAPK pathway in a manner that depends upon TRAF2 and Ubc13, a member along with Uev1A of a dimeric ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme complex. Interference with Ubc13 function or expression inhibits both TNF- and TRAF2-mediated GCKR and SAPK activation, but has a minimal effect on ASK1 activation. TNF signaling leads to TRAF2 polyubiquitination and oligomerization and to the oligomerization, ubiquitination, and activation of GCKR, all of which are sensitive to the disruption of Ubc13 function. These results indicate that the assembly of a TRAF2 lysine 63-linked polyubiquitin chain by Ubc13/Uev1A is required for TNF-mediated GCKR and SAPK activation, but may not be required for ASK1 activation. 相似文献

TRAF6, a crucial adaptor molecule in innate and adaptive immunity, contains three distinct functional domains. The C-terminal TRAF domain facilitates oligomerization and sequence-specific interaction with receptors or other adaptor proteins. In conjunction with the dimeric E2 enzyme Ubc13-Uev1A, the N-terminal RING domain of TRAF6 functions as an E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase that facilitates its own site-specific ubiquitination through the generation of a Lys-63-linked poly-Ub chain. This modification does not cause its proteasomal degradation but rather serves as a scaffold to activate both the IKK and stress kinase pathways. Connecting the N-and C-terminal regions, the four internal zinc finger (ZF) motifs have yet to be functionally defined. In this study, we examined the role of the ZF domains in interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharide, and RANKL signaling by reconstitution of TRAF6-deficient cells with point mutations or deletions of these ZF motifs. Although ZF domains 2-4 are dispensable for activating IKK, p38, and JNK by interleukin-1 and lipopolysaccharide, the first ZF domain together with an intact RING domain of TRAF6 is essential for activating these pathways. Furthermore, TRAF6 autoubiquitination and its interaction with Ubc13 are dependent on ZF1 and an intact RING domain. Additionally, expression of TRAF6 lacking ZF2-4 in TRAF6-deficient monocytes rescues RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation and LPS-stimulated interleukin-6 production. These data provide evidence for the critical role of the Ub ligase activity of TRAF6, which is coordinated via the RING domain and ZF1 to supply the necessary elements in signaling by cytokines dependent upon TRAF6. 相似文献

The tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) protein family members are critically involved in activation of NF-kappaB, JNK, and p38 activation triggered by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family members and toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-containing receptors. TRAF proteins (except for TRAF1) contain an N-terminal RING finger domain that is essential for their functions. In this report, we identified a protein designated as TRAF7, which contains a RING finger domain and a zinc finger domain that are mostly conserved with those of TRAFs. TRAF7 also contains seven WD40 repeats at its C terminus. TRAF7 specifically interacted with MEKK3 and potentiated MEKK3-mediated AP1 and CHOP activation. Depletion of TRAF7 by antisense RNA inhibited MEKK3-mediated AP1 and CHOP activation. Moreover, overexpression of TRAF7 induced caspase-dependent apoptosis. Domain mapping experiments indicated that TRAF7 potentiated MEKK3-mediated AP1 and CHOP activation and induced apoptosis through distinct domains. Our studies identified a novel TRAF family member that is involved in MEKK3 signaling and apoptosis. 相似文献

Signaling through tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNF-R2) results in ubiquitination of TRAF2 by the E3 c-IAP1. In this report, we confirm that TRAF2 translocates to a Triton X-100 (TX)-insoluble compartment upon TNF-R2 engagement. Moreover, TRAF2 ubiquitination occurs in this compartment, from which TRAF2 is degraded in a proteasome-dependent manner. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that the TX-insoluble compartment is perinuclear and co-localizes with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) markers. The ER transmembrane Ubc6 bound to c-IAP1 and served as a cognate E2 for c-IAP1's E3 activity in vitro. Furthermore, Ubc6 co-localized with translocated TRAF2/c-IAP1 in the ER-associated compartment in vivo, and a catalytically inactive Ubc6 mutant inhibited TNF-alpha-induced, TNF-R2-dependent TRAF2 degradation. These results indicate that upon TNF-R2 signaling, translocation of TRAF2 and c-IAP1 to an ER-associated, Ubc6-containing perinuclear compartment is required for the ubiquitination of TRAF2 by c-IAP1. Therefore, the ER plays a key role in the TNF-R-mediated signal transduction cascade by acting as a site of assembly for E2/E3/substrate complexes. 相似文献

AIP1/DAB2IP, a novel member of the Ras-GAP family, transduces TRAF2-induced ASK1-JNK activation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Previously we have shown that ASK-interacting protein 1 (AIP1, also known as DAB2IP), a novel member of the Ras-GAP protein family, mediates TNF-induced activation of ASK1-JNK signaling pathway. However, the mechanism by which TNF signaling is coupled to AIP1 is not known. Here we show that AIP1 is localized on the plasma membrane in resting endothelial cells (EC) in a complex with TNFR1. TNF binding induces release of AIP1 from TNFR1, resulting in cytoplasmic translocation and concomitant formation of an intracellular signaling complex comprised of TRADD, RIP1, TRAF2, and AIPl. A proline-rich region (amino acids 796-807) is critical for maintaining AIP1 in a closed form, which associates with a region of TNFR1 distinct from the death domain, the site of TNFR1 association with TRADD. An AIP1 mutant with deletion of this proline-rich region constitutively binds to TRAF2 and ASK1. A PERIOD-like domain (amino acids 591-719) of AIP1 binds to the intact RING finger of TRAF2, and specifically enhances TRAF2-induced ASK1 activation. At the same time, the binding of AIP1 to TRAF2 inhibits TNF-induced IKK-NF-kappaB signaling. Taken together, our data suggest that AIP1 is a novel transducer in TNF-induced TRAF2-dependent activation of ASK1 that mediates a balance between JNK versus NF-kappaB signaling. 相似文献

Receptor expressed in lymphoid tissues (RELT) is a new member of the TNFR family with little known regarding its signaling. Typically, TNFRs engage TRAFs for activation of NF-kappaB and MAPK cascades. We found that RELT does not use the standard signaling pathways characteristic of other TNFRs. While overexpression of RELT in 293 cells induced p38 and JNK activation, it did not activate NF-kappaB. In addition, no binding of RELT to TRAF1,2,3,5, or 6 was detected. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we identified a Ste20-related proline-alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) that binds RELT. Disruption of the SPAK binding motif, 349RFRV, in RELT inhibited RELT activation of p38 and JNK. In addition, a kinase-dead SPAK acted as an inhibitor of RELT signaling. Thus, we conclude that RELT does not rely on the canonical TRAF pathways for its function, but instead uses a kinase, SPAK, to mediate p38 and JNK activation. 相似文献

Binding of TNF to its receptor (TNFR1) elicits the spatiotemporal assembly of two signaling complexes that coordinate the balance between cell survival and cell death. We have shown previously that, following TNF treatment, the mRNA decay protein tristetraprolin (TTP) is Lys-63-polyubiquitinated by TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), suggesting a regulatory role in TNFR signaling. Here we demonstrate that TTP interacts with TNFR1 in a TRAF2-dependent manner, thereby initiating the MEKK1/MKK4-dependent activation of JNK activities. This regulatory function toward JNK activation but not NF-κB activation depends on lysine 105 of TTP, which we identified as the corresponding TRAF2 ubiquitination site. Disabling TTP polyubiquitination results in enhanced TNF-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. Together, we uncover a novel aspect of TNFR1 signaling where TTP, in alliance with TRAF2, acts as a balancer of JNK-mediated cell survival versus death. 相似文献

Activation of the IkappaB kinase complex by TRAF6 requires a dimeric ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme complex and a unique polyubiquitin chain 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33

TRAF6 is a signal transducer in the NF-kappaB pathway that activates IkappaB kinase (IKK) in response to proinflammatory cytokines. We have purified a heterodimeric protein complex that links TRAF6 to IKK activation. Peptide mass fingerprinting analysis reveals that this complex is composed of the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Ubc13 and the Ubc-like protein Uev1A. We find that TRAF6, a RING domain protein, functions together with Ubc13/Uev1A to catalyze the synthesis of unique polyubiquitin chains linked through lysine-63 (K63) of ubiquitin. Blockade of this polyubiquitin chain synthesis, but not inhibition of the proteasome, prevents the activation of IKK by TRAF6. These results unveil a new regulatory function for ubiquitin, in which IKK is activated through the assembly of K63-linked polyubiquitin chains. 相似文献

The emerging role of CD40, a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family member, in immune regulation, disease pathogenesis, and cancer therapy necessitates the analysis of CD40 signal transduction in a wide range of tissue types. In this study we present evidence that the CD40-interacting proteins TRAF2 and TRAF6 play an important physiological role in CD40 signaling in nonhemopoietic cells. Using mutational analysis of the CD40 cytoplasmic tail, we demonstrate that the specific binding of TRAF2 to CD40 is required for efficient signaling on the NF-kappaB, Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK), and p38 axis. In fibroblasts lacking TRAF2 or in carcinoma cells in which TRAF2 has been depleted by RNA interference, the CD40-mediated activation of NF-kappaB and JNK is significantly reduced, and the activation of p38 and Akt is severely impaired. Interestingly, whereas the TRAF6-interacting membrane-proximal domain of CD40 has a minor role in signal transduction, studies utilizing TRAF6 knockout fibroblasts and RNA interference in epithelial cells reveal that the CD40-induced activation of NF-kappaB, JNK, p38, and Akt requires the integrity of TRAF6. Furthermore, we provide evidence that TRAF6 regulates CD40 signal transduction not only through its direct binding to CD40 but also indirectly via its association with TRAF2. These observations provide novel insight into the mechanisms of CD40 signaling and the multiple roles played by TRAF6 in signal transduction. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) are critical signaling adaptors downstream of many receptors in the TNF receptor and interleukin-1 receptor/Toll-like receptor superfamilies. Whereas TRAF2, 5, and 6 are activators of the canonical NF-kappaB signaling pathway, TRAF3 is an inhibitor of the noncanonical NF-kappaB pathway. The contribution of the different domains in TRAFs to their respective functions remains unclear. To elucidate the structural and functional specificities of TRAF3, we reconstituted TRAF3-deficient cells with a series of TRAF3 mutants and assessed their abilities to restore TRAF3-mediated inhibition of the noncanonical NF-kappaB pathway as measured by NF-kappaB-inducing kinase (NIK) protein levels and processing of p100 to p52. We found that a structurally intact RING finger domain of TRAF3 is required for inhibition of the noncanonical NF-kappaB pathway. In addition, the three N-terminal domains, but not the C-terminal TRAF domain, of the highly homologous TRAF5 can functionally replace the corresponding domains of TRAF3 in suppression of the noncanonical NF-kappaB pathway. This functional specificity correlates with the specific binding of TRAF3, but not TRAF5, to the previously reported TRAF3 binding motif in NIK. Our studies suggest that both the RING finger domain activity and the specific binding of the TRAF domain to NIK are two critical components of TRAF3 suppression of NIK protein levels and the processing of p100 to p52. 相似文献

IL-33 has been shown to induce Th2 responses by signaling through the IL-1 receptor-related protein, ST2L. However, the signal transduction pathways activated by the ST2L have not been characterized. Here, we found that IL-33-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, MCP-3 and IL-6 expression was significantly inhibited in TNF receptor-associated Factor 6 (TRAF6)-deficient MEFs. IL-33 rapidly induced the formation of ST2L complex containing IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), however, lack of TRAF6 abolished the recruitment of IRAK to ST2L. Consequently, p38, JNK and Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation induced by IL-33 was completely inhibited in TRAF6-deficient MEFs. On the other hand, IL-33-induced ERK activation was observed regardless of the presence of TRAF6. The introduction of TRAF6 restored the efficient activation of p38, JNK and NF-kappaB in TRAF6 deficient MEFs, resulting in the induction of MCP-1, MCP-3 and IL-6 expression. Moreover, IL-33 augmented autoubiquitination of TRAF6 and the reconstitution of TRAF6 mutant (C70A) that is defective in its ubiquitin ligase activity failed to restore IL-33-induced p38, JNK and NF-kappaB activation. Thus, these data demonstrate that TRAF6 plays a pivotal role in IL-33 signaling pathway through its ubiquitin ligase activity. 相似文献

Physical and functional interaction of filamin (actin-binding protein-280) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is an intracellular protein involved in signal transduction from TNF receptor I and II and related receptors. TRAF2 is required for TNF-induced activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK), and TRAF2 can also mediate activation of NF-kappaB. Here we have identified the actin-binding protein Filamin (actin-binding protein-280) as a TRAF2-interacting protein. Filamin binds to the Ring zinc finger domain of TRAF2. Overexpressed Filamin inhibits TRAF2-induced activation of JNK/SAPK and of NF-kappaB. Furthermore, ectopically expressed Filamin inhibits NF-kappaB activation induced via TNF, interleukin-1, Toll receptors, and TRAF6 but not activation induced via overexpression of NIK, a downstream effector in these pathways. Importantly, TNF fails to activate SAPK or NF-kappaB in a human melanoma cell line deficient in Filamin. Reintroduction of Filamin into these cells restores the TNF response. The data imply a role for Filamin in inflammatory signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

Ubiquitin ligase activities of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus RING finger proteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The genome of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is predicted to contain six RING finger proteins: IAP1, ORF35, IAP2, CG30, IE2, and PE38. Several other members of the RING finger family have recently been shown to have the ubiquitin-ligase (E3) activity. We thus examined whether BmNPV RING finger proteins have the E3 activity. In vitro ubiquitination assay with the rabbit reticulocyte lysates and BmNPV RING finger proteins fused with maltose-binding protein (MBP) showed that four of them (IAP2, IE2, PE38, and CG30) were polyubiquitinated in the presence of zinc ion. Furthermore, MBP-IAP2, MBP-IE2, and MBP-PE38 were able to reconstitute ubiquitination activity in cooperation with the Ubc4/5 subfamily of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. Mutational analysis also showed that ubiquitination activity of MBP-IAP2, MBP-IE2, and MBP-PE38 were dependent on their RING finger motif. Therefore, these results suggest that IAP2, IE2, and PE38 may function as E3 enzymes during BmNPV infection. 相似文献

A primary step in activating the alternative nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway requires NF-kappaB2/p100 processing to generate p52. In most cases, stimuli-induced p100 processing is dependent on NF-kappaB-inducing kinase/IkappaB kinase alpha-mediated phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Here, we report that post-translational modification of p100 at specific sites by the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is another determining factor for stimuli-induced p100 processing. The results show that basal SUMO modification is required for stimuli-induced p100 phosphorylation and that blocking SUMOylation of p100, either by site-directed mutation or by short interfering RNA-targeted diminution of E2 SUMO-conjugating enzyme Ubc9, inhibits various physiological stimuli-induced p100 processing and ultimate activation of the alternative NF-kappaB pathway. Together, these findings show the crucial role of SUMO1 modification in p100 processing and provide mechanistic insights into the participation of SUMO1 modification in the regulation of signal transduction. 相似文献

The zinc finger protein A20 is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- and interleukin 1 (IL-1)-inducible protein that negatively regulates nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB)-dependent gene expression. However, the molecular mechanism by which A20 exerts this effect is still unclear. We show that A20 does not inhibit TNF- induced nuclear translocation and DNA binding of NF-kappaB, although it completely prevents the TNF- induced activation of an NF-kappaB-dependent reporter gene, as well as TNF-induced IL-6 and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor gene expression. Moreover, NF-kappaB activation induced by overexpression of the TNF receptor-associated proteins TNF receptor-associated death domain protein (TRADD), receptor interacting protein (RIP), and TNF recep- tor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) was also inhibited by expression of A20, whereas NF-kappaB activation induced by overexpression of NF-kappaB-inducing kinase (NIK) or the human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax was unaffected. These results demonstrate that A20 inhibits NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression by interfering with a novel TNF-induced and RIP- or TRAF2-mediated pathway that is different from the NIK-IkappaB kinase pathway and that is specifically involved in the transactivation of NF-kappaB. Via yeast two-hybrid screening, we found that A20 binds to a novel protein, ABIN, which mimics the NF-kappaB inhibiting effects of A20 upon overexpression, suggesting that the effect of A20 is mediated by its interaction with this NF-kappaB inhibiting protein, ABIN. 相似文献
