Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2)-deficient B lymphocytes reveal novel roles for TRAF2 in CD40 signaling.
CD40 function is initiated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF) adapter proteins, which play important roles in signaling by numerous receptors. Characterizing roles of individual TRAFs has been hampered by limitations of available experimental models and the poor viability of most TRAF-deficient mice. Here, B cell lines made deficient in TRAF2 using a novel homologo...
متن کاملA novel mechanism for TNFR-associated factor 6-dependent CD40 signaling.
Members of the TNFR family play critical roles in the regulation of the immune system. One member of the family critical for efficient activation of T-dependent humoral immune responses is CD40, a cell surface protein expressed by B cells and other APC. The cytoplasmic domain of CD40 interacts with several members of the TNFR-associated factor (TRAF) family, which link CD40 to intracellular sig...
متن کاملRole of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) in distinct and overlapping CD40 and TNF receptor 2/CD120b-mediated B lymphocyte activation.
Members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family play a variety of roles in the regulation of lymphocyte activation. An important TNFR family member for B cell activation is CD40. CD40 signals stimulate B cell TNF-alpha secretion, which subsequently signals via TNFR2 (CD120b) to enhance B cell activation. Although the function of the pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory receptor TNFR1 ...
متن کاملCooperation between TNF receptor-associated factors 1 and 2 in CD40 signaling.
TNFR-associated factor 1 (TRAF1) is unique among the TRAF family, lacking most zinc-binding features, and showing marked up-regulation following activation signals. However, the biological roles that TRAF1 plays in immune cell signaling have been elusive, with many reports assigning contradictory roles to TRAF1. The overlapping binding site for TRAFs 1, 2, and 3 on many TNFR superfamily molecul...
متن کاملRequirement for TRAF3 in Signaling by LMP1 But Not CD40 in B Lymphocytes
CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, and the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded oncoprotein latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) share several tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) adaptor proteins for signaling. Among these, TRAF3 was the first identified to directly bind both receptors, yet its role remains a mystery. To address this, we generated B cell lines de...
