Description
TRAFs (TNF receptor associated factors) are signal transducing molecules which participate in forming TNF/Nerve Growth Factor receptor-associated signalling complexes. TRAF proteins share a novel C-terminal homology region, the “TRAF” domain, a coiled-coiled region and the majority have Zinc/RING finger motifs. At least six TRAF proteins (TRAFs 1-6) have been identified. These proteins are cytoplasmic adapters; they bind to cytoplasmic domains of various receptors and can function to recruit other proteins to a signaling complex thereby promoting intracellular signal transduction. Specifically, TRAF2 has been shown to interact with the following surface receptors: TNFRII, CD27, CD30, CD40, 4-1BB, Ox40, HVEM/ATAR and LMP-1. TRAF2 has also been shown to associate with intracellular proteins, including TRADD, FADD, I-TRAF/TANK, TRIP, A20, c-IAP1 and 2, Casper, RIP and NIK. Thus, the interaction of TRAF2 with these various receptors and intracellular proteins plays an important role modulating downstream events which can result in inducing cell death or keeping cells alive. For example, cells deficient in TRAF2 demonstrated increased sensitivity to TNF-induced cell death, but a decrease in TNF-induced JNK activation, and little change on NF-kB activation. TRAF2 is detected at ∽ 53kDa in western blot analysis. The C90-481 antibody reacts with human TRAF2. A synthetic protein freagment corresponding to amino acids 93-199 of human TRAF2 was used as immunogen.
