Description: Homo sapiens TNF receptor-associated factor 6, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (TRAF6), transcript variant 2, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_004620): The protein encoded by this gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012].

ID:TRAF6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=TNF receptor-associated factor 6; EC=6.3.2.-; AltName: Full=E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRAF6; AltName: Full=Interleukin-1 signal transducer; AltName: Full=RING finger protein 85; FUNCTION: 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. Also mediates ubiquitination of free/unanchored polyubiquitin chain that leads to MAP3K7 activation. Leads to the activation of NF- kappa-B and JUN. May be essential for the formation of functional osteoclasts. Seems to also play a role in dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and/or activation. Represses c-Myb-mediated transactivation, in B-lymphocytes. Adapter protein that seems to play a role in signal transduction initiated via TNF receptor, IL- 1 receptor and IL-17 receptor. Regulates osteoclast differentiation by mediating the activation of adapter protein complex 1 (AP-1) and NF-kappa-B, in response to RANK-L stimulation. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Homotrimer. Homooligomer. N-terminal region is dimeric while C-terminal region is trimeric; maybe providing a mode of oligomerization.

Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Nucleus. Lipid droplet (By similarity). Note=Found in the nuclei of some agressive B-cell lymphoma cell lines as well as in the nuclei of both resting and activated T- and B-lymphocytes. Found in punctate nuclear body protein complexes. Ubiquitination may occur in the cytoplasm and sumoylation in the nucleus. RSAD2/viperin recruits it to the lipid droplet (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. DOMAIN: The coiled coil domain mediates homo- and hetero- oligomerization. DOMAIN: The MATH/TRAF domain binds to receptor cytoplasmic domains. PTM: Sumoylated on Lys-124, Lys-142 and Lys-453 with SUMO1. PTM: Polyubiquitinated on Lys-124; after cell stimulation with IL- 1-beta or TGF-beta. This ligand-induced cell stimulation leads to dimerization/oligomerization of TRAF6 molecules, followed by auto- ubiquitination which involves UBE2N and UBE2V1 and leads to TRAF6 activation. This 'Lys-63' site-specific poly-ubiquitination appears to be associated with the activation of signaling molecules. Endogenous autoubiquitination occurs only for the cytoplasmic form. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TNF receptor-associated factor family. A subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 MATH domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 TRAF-type zinc fingers. WEB RESOURCE: Name=SeattleSNPs; URL="http://pga.gs.washington.edu/data/traf6/";

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
