Function
Adapter protein and signal transducer that links members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family to different signaling pathways. Plays a role in the activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK, and in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Regulates activation of NF-kappa-B in response to signaling through Toll-like receptors. Required for normal skeleton development, and for normal development of the respiratory tract (By similarity). Required for activation of RPS6KB1 in response to TNF signaling. Modulates TRAF6 functions.
Traf4 is atypical within its family because it is the only traf family member to negatively regulate innate immune signaling. Ikk_'s phosphorylation of serine-426 on traf4 was required for this negative regulation.
The ubiquitination process is mediated sequentially by three classes of enzymes consisting of a Ub-activating enzyme E1, a Ub-conjugating enzyme E2, and a Ub ligase E3. Ub is first activated by E1 in an adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP)-dependent manner t
