Characterization of the TNFR1-d2 protein: Implication in TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS)?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Binding of TNF to TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) induces both the survival pathway by activation of the NF-kB transcription factor, and the death pathway by apoptosis. Mutations in the TNFR1 gene (TNFSFR1A) are responsible for the auto-inflammatory disease TRAPS, a dominantly inherited hereditary recurrent fever. Various defects such as defective TNFR1 receptor shedding, protein misfolding, NF-kB activation, or apoptosis have been associated with the pathogenesis of TRAPS. Previously, we have identified TNFR1-d2, an exon2spliced transcript of TNFRSF1A. TNFR1-d2 is expressed in a tissue-specific manner in contrast to ubiquitous expression of the full-length TNFR1 transcript.

Abnormal disulfide-linked oligomerization results in ER retention and altered signaling by TNFR1 mutants in TNFR1-associated periodic fever syndrome (TRAPS).
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomal dominant systemic autoinflammatory disease associated with heterozygous mutations in TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1). Here we examined the structural and functional alterations caused by 9 distinct TRAPS-associated TNFR1 mutations in transfected cells and a mouse "knock-in" model of TRAPS. We found that these TNFR1...

TNF, acting through p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), contributes to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. TNFR-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS, OMIM 142680) is an autosomal dominant autoinflammatory disorder characterized by prolonged attacks of fevers, peritonitis, and soft tissue inflammation. TRAPS is caused by missense mutations in the extracellular domain of TNFR...

TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a dominantly inherited disease caused by missense mutations in the TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) gene. Patients suffer from periodic bouts of severe abdominal pain, localised inflammation, migratory rashes, and fever. More than 40 individual mutations have been identified, all of which occur in the extracellular domain of TNFR1. In the present revie...

Mutations in TNFRSF1A encoding TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) cause the autosomal dominant TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS): a systemic autoinflammatory disorder. Misfolding, intracellular aggregation, and ligand-independent signaling by mutant TNFR1 are central to disease pathophysiology. Our aim was to understand the extent of signaling pathway perturbation in TRAPS. A prototypic mut...

Introduction TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in the TNF superfamily receptor 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene encoding 55 kDa TNF receptor type I (TNFR1). TRAPS is characterized by episodes of fever accompanied by severe abdominal pain, arthralgia, myalgia, rash, chest pain, enlarged glands and red, swollen eyes. Duration...
