Supplementary information

TRAF6 also known as TNF receptor-associated factor 6 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is part of the TRAF family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa. TRAF6 is ubiquitously expressed in many types of tissues and cells including immune cells like macrophages and dendritic cells. Its primary role is to mediate signal transduction from members of the TNF receptor and Toll-like receptor (TLR) families which it achieves through polyubiquitination of target proteins. This process facilitates the recruitment of downstream signaling components necessary for cellular responses.
Biological function summary

TRAF6 plays a critical role in regulating immune and inflammatory responses. It acts within a complex often associating with other signaling proteins such as IRAK1 and TAK1 to activate downstream kinases like IKK and JNK. These signaling pathways lead to the activation of transcription factors such as NF-kB and AP-1 which regulate the expression of genes involved in inflammation and immune responses. TRAF6 is an important modulator of adaptive and innate immunity influencing both the maturation of immune cells and the body's response to infection.

Pathways

TRAF6 significantly contributes to the NF-kB and MAPK signaling pathways. In the NF-kB pathway TRAF6 mediates signal transduction following TLR engagement interacting with proteins such as MyD88 and RIP1 to drive inflammatory cytokine production. In the MAPK pathway it associates predominantly with TAK1 to facilitate the phosphorylation and activation of downstream kinases. These pathways are essential for transmitting signals from cell surface receptors to the nucleus controlling the magnitude of immune signaling and cellular stress responses.

TRAF6 has a significant association with autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. In autoimmune disorders aberrant activation of TRAF6 can lead to prolonged inflammation and detrimental immune responses. For cancers TRAF6 is linked to tumor progression and metastasis acting alongside proteins like IRAK1 and RIP1 which can further promote malignancy through chronic inflammation and immune evasion. Understanding TRAF6's role in these diseases provides insights that could lead to targeted therapeutic strategies.

Target data

E3 ubiquitin ligase that, together with UBE2N and UBE2V1, mediates the synthesis of 'Lys-63'-linked-polyubiquitin chains conjugated to proteins, such as ECSIT, IKBKG, IRAK1, AKT1 and AKT2 (PubMed : 11057907, PubMed : 18347055, PubMed : 19465916, PubMed : 19713527, PubMed : 27746020, PubMed : 31620128). Also mediates ubiquitination of free/unanchored polyubiquitin chain that leads to MAP3K7 activation (PubMed : 19675569). Leads to the activation of NF-kappa-B and JUN (PubMed : 16378096, PubMed : 17135271, PubMed : 17703191). Seems to also play a role in dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and/or activation (By similarity). Represses c-Myb-mediated transactivation, in B-lymphocytes (PubMed : 18093978, PubMed : 18758450). Adapter protein that seems to play a role in signal transduction initiated via TNF receptor, IL-1 receptor and IL-17 receptor (PubMed : 12140561, PubMed : 19825828, PubMed : 8837778). Regulates osteoclast differentiation by mediating the activation of adapter protein complex 1 (AP-1) and NF-kappa-B, in response to RANK-L stimulation (By similarity). Together with MAP3K8, mediates CD40 signals that activate ERK in B-cells and macrophages, and thus may play a role in the regulation of immunoglobulin production (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of the JNK and NF-kappa-B signaling pathways by initiating assembly of heterotypic 'Lys-63'-/'Lys-48'-linked branched ubiquitin chains that are then recognized by TAB2 : TRAF6 catalyzes initial 'Lys-63'-linked-polyubiquitin chains that are then branched via 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin by HUWE1 (PubMed : 27746020). 'Lys-63'-/'Lys-48'-linked branched ubiquitin chains protect 'Lys-63'-linkages from CYLD deubiquitination (PubMed : 27746020). Participates also in the TCR signaling by ubiquitinating LAT (PubMed : 23514740, PubMed : 25907557).
