LMP1 signal transduction differs substantially from TNF receptor 1 signaling in the molecular functions of TRADD and TRAF2.

چکیده
The Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) binds tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factors (TRAFs) and the TNFR-associated death domain protein (TRADD). Moreover, it induces NF-kappaB and the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) pathway. Thus, LMP1 appears to mimick the molecular functions of TNFR1. However, TNFR1 elicits a wide range of cellular responses including apoptosis, whereas LMP1 constitutes a transforming protein. Here we mapped the JNK1 activator region (JAR) of the LMP1 molecule. JAR overlaps with the TRADD-binding domain of LMP1. In contrast to TNFR1, LMP1 recruits TRADD via the TRADD N-terminus but not the TRADD death domain. Consequently, the molecular function of TRADD in LMP1 signaling differs from its role in TNFR1 signal transduction. Whereas NF-kappaB activation by LMP1 was blocked by a dominant-negative TRADD mutant, LMP1 induces JNK1 independently of the TRADD death domain and TRAF2, which binds to TRADD. Further downstream, JNK1 activation by TNFR1 involves Cdc42, whereas LMP1 signaling to JNK1 is independent of p21 Rho-like GTPases. Although both LMP1 and TNFR1 interact with TRADD and TRAF2, the different topologies of the signaling complexes correlate with substantial differences between LMP1 and TNFR1 signal transduction to JNK1.

TRAF6 is a critical mediator of signal transduction by the viral oncogene latent membrane protein 1.
The oncogenic latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of the Epstein-Barr virus recruits tumor necrosis factor-receptor (TNFR)-associated factors (TRAFs), the TNFR-associated death domain protein (TRADD) and JAK3 to induce intracellular signaling pathways. LMP1 serves as the prototype of a TRADD-binding receptor that transforms cells but does not induce apoptosis. Here we show that TRAF6 critically me...
متن کاملThe Viral Oncoprotein LMP1 Exploits TRADD for Signaling by Masking Its Apoptotic Activity
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor 1-associated death domain protein (TRADD) mediates induction of apoptosis as well as activation of NF-kappaB by cellular TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1). TRADD is also recruited by the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) oncoprotein of Epstein-Barr virus, but its role in LMP1 signaling has remained enigmatic. In human B lymphocytes, we have generated, to our knowled...
متن کاملTRADD–TRAF2 and TRADD–FADD Interactions Define Two Distinct TNF Receptor 1 Signal Transduction Pathways
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can induce apoptosis and activate NF-kappa B through signaling cascades emanating from TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1). TRADD is a TNFR1-associated signal transducer that is involved in activating both pathways. Here we show that TRADD directly interacts with TRAF2 and FADD, signal transducers that activate NF-kappa B and induce apoptosis, respectively. A TRAF2 mutant lacking...
متن کاملA Novel Mechanism of TRAF Signaling Revealed by Structural and Functional Analyses of the TRADD–TRAF2 Interaction
TRAF proteins are major mediators for the cell activation, cell survival, and antiapoptotic functions of the TNF receptor superfamily. They can be recruited to activated TNF receptors either by direct interactions with the receptors or indirectly via the adaptor protein TRADD. We now report the structure of the TRADD-TRAF2 complex, which is highly distinct from receptor-TRAF2 interactions. This...
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...
