TNF receptor-associated factor 6 Adenovirus

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRAF6; interleukin-1 signal transducer; MGC:3310; RING finger protein 85; RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase TRAF6; RNF85; TNF receptor-associated factor 6; TNF receptor-associated factor 6, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase

TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that, together with UBE2N and UBE2V1, mediates the synthesis of 'Lys-63'-linked-polyubiquitin chains conjugated to proteins, such as IKBKG, AKT1 and AKT2. TRAF6 also mediates ubiquitination of free/unanchored polyubiquitin chain that leads to MAP3K7 activation. TRAF6 leads to the activation of NF-kappa-B and JUN. TRAF6 may be essential for the formation of functional osteoclasts, and it regulates osteoclast differentiation by mediating the activation of adapter protein complex 1 (AP-1) and NF-kappa-B, in response to RANK-L stimulation. TRAF6 also seems to play a role in dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and/or activation. TRAF6 represses c-Myb-mediated transactivation, in B-lymphocytes. TRAF6 is an adapter protein that seems to play a role in signal transduction initiated via TNF receptor, IL-1 receptor and IL-17 receptor [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9Y4K3].

TRAF6 is a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) protein family. TRAF proteins are associated with, and mediate signal transduction from, members of the TNF receptor superfamily. This protein mediates signaling from members of the TNF receptor superfamily as well as the Toll/IL-1 family. Signals from receptors such as CD40, TNFSF11/RANCE and IL-1 have been shown to be mediated by this protein. This protein also interacts with various protein kinases including IRAK1/IRAK, SRC and PKCzeta, which provides a link between distinct signaling pathways. This protein functions as a signal transducer in the NF-kappaB pathway that activates IkappaB kinase (IKK) in response to proinflammatory cytokines. The interaction of this protein with UBE2N/UBC13, and UBE2V1/UEV1A, which are ubiquitin conjugating enzymes catalyzing the formation of polyubiquitin chains, has been found to be required for IKK activation by this protein. This protein also interacts with the transforming growth factor (TGF) beta receptor complex and is required for Smad-independent activation of the JNK and p38 kinases. This protein has an amino terminal RING domain which is followed by four zinc-finger motifs, a central coiled-coil region and a highly conserved carboxyl terminal domain, known as the TRAF-C domain. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants, encoding an identical protein, have been reported.
