- Background
- TRAF1 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 1), also called EBI6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF receptor (TNFR) associated factor (TRAF) protein family. Siemienski et al. (1997) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the TRAF1 gene to 9q33-q34. Mosialos et al. (1995) found that LMP1, the EBV-transforming protein, specifically associates with LAP1 (TRAF3) or EBI6 in B lymphoblasts. LMP1 expression res LAP1 and EBI6 from scattered cytoplasmic structures to LMP1 plasma membrane patches. Both LAP1 and EBI6 associated with the cytoplasmic domain of p80/TNFR2 in vivo.

- Function
- Adapter molecule that regulates the activation of NF- kappa-B and JNK. Plays a role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. The heterotrimer formed by TRAF1 and TRAF2 is part of a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that promotes ubiquitination of target proteins, such as MAP3K14. The TRAF1/TRAF2 complex recruits the antiapoptotic E3 protein- ubiquitin ligases BIRC2 and BIRC3 to TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. .
