Function | E3 ubiquitin ligase that, together with UBE2N and UBE2V1, mediates the synthesis of 'Lys-63'-linked-polyubiquitin chains conjugated to proteins, such as ECSIT, IKBKG, IRAK1, AKT1 and AKT2 (PubMed:11057907, PubMed:18347055, PubMed:19465916, PubMed:19713527, PubMed:27746020, PubMed:31620128). Also mediates ubiquitination of free/unanchored polyubiquitin chain that leads to MAP3K7 activation (PubMed:19675569). Leads to the activation of NF-kappa-B and JUN (PubMed:16378096, PubMed:17135271, PubMed:17703191). Seems to also play a role in dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and/or activation (By similarity). Represses c-Myb-mediated transactivation, in B-lymphocytes (PubMed:18093978, PubMed:18758450). Adapter protein that seems to play a role in signal transduction initiated via TNF receptor, IL-1 receptor and IL-17 receptor (PubMed:12140561, PubMed:19825828, PubMed:8837778). Regulates osteoclast differentiation by mediating the activation of adapter protein complex 1 (AP-1) and NF-kappa-B, in response to RANK-L stimulation (By similarity). Together with MAP3K8, mediates CD40 signals that activate ERK in B-cells and macrophages, and thus may play a role in the regulation of immunoglobulin production (By similarity). Acts as a regulator of the JNK and NF-kappa-B signaling pathways by initiating assembly of heterotypic 'Lys-63'-/'Lys-48'-linked branched ubiquitin chains that are then recognized by TAB2: TRAF6 catalyzes initial 'Lys-63'-linked-polyubiquitin chains that are then branched via 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin by HUWE1 (PubMed:27746020). 'Lys- 63'-/'Lys-48'-linked branched ubiquitin chains protect 'Lys-63'- linkages from CYLD deubiquitination (PubMed:27746020). Participates also in the TCR signaling by ubiquitinating LAT (PubMed:23514740, PubMed:25907557). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Nucleus. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70196}. Note=Found in the nuclei of some aggressive B-cell lymphoma cell lines as well as in the nuclei of both resting and activated T- and B-lymphocytes. Found in punctate nuclear body protein complexes. Ubiquitination may occur in the cytoplasm and sumoylation in the nucleus. RSAD2/viperin recruits it to the lipid droplet (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas |

Background
TRAFs (TNF receptor associated proteins) form a family of cytoplasmic adapter proteins that mediate signal transduction from many members of the TNF-receptor superfamily and the interleukin-1 receptor. The carboxy-terminal region of TRAFs is required for self-association and interaction with receptor cytoplasmic domains following ligand-induced oligomerization. Recent molecular cloning studies have lead to identification of six TRAFs (TRAF1-TRAF6). Recently it has been shown that TRANCE/OPGL activates the antiapoptotic serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB through a signaling complex involving c-Src and TRAF6. Mice deficient in TRAF6 are osteopetrotic with defects in bone remodeling and tooth eruption due to impaired osteoclast function. Like TRAF2 and TRAF3, TRAF6 is also essential for perinatal and postnatal survival. These findings establish diverse and critical roles for TRAF6 in perinatal and postnatal survival, bone metabolism, LPS, and cytokine signaling.
