| description | TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) regulates a diverse array of processes, including adaptive immunity, innate immunity, bone metabolism and tissue development. It is a unique member of the TRAF family of adaptor proteins in that it is involved in both the TNF receptor superfamily and the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)/Toll-like receptor (TLR) superfamily signal transduction pathways [, , , ]. TRAF6 possesses ubiquitin ligase activity that controls the activation of IKK and NF-kappaB [, ]. TRAF6 contains a RING finger domain, five zinc finger domains, and a TRAF domain.The TRAF domain can be divided into a more divergent N-terminal alpha helical region (TRAF-N), and a highly conserved C-terminal MATH subdomain (TRAF-C) with an eight-stranded β-sandwich structure. TRAF-N mediates trimerization while TRAF-C interacts with receptors [, ]. |
