Phospho-TRAF2 (Thr22) Antibody - #AF7363

Regulates activation of NF-kappa-B and JNK and plays a central role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Required for normal antibody isotype switching from IgM to IgG. Has E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity and promotes 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of target proteins, such as BIRC3, RIPK1 and TICAM1. Is an essential constituent of several E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes, where it promotes the ubiquitination of target proteins by bringing them into contact with other E3 ubiquitin ligases. Regulates BIRC2 and BIRC3 protein levels by inhibiting their autoubiquitination and subsequent degradation; this does not depend on the TRAF2 RING-type zinc finger domain. Plays a role in mediating activation of NF-kappa-B by EIF2AK2/PKR. In complex with BIRC2 or BIRC3, promotes ubiquitination of IKBKE.

Phosphorylated at several serine residues within the first 128 amino acid residues. Phosphorylated at Thr-117 in response to signaling via TNF and TNFRSF1A. Phosphorylation at Thr-117 is required for 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination, but not for 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Phosphorylation at Thr-117 is important for interaction with IKKA and IKKB, activation of IKK and subsequent activation of NF-kappa-B.

Undergoes both 'Lys-48'-linked and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination. Polyubiquitinated via 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin in response to TNF signaling; this requires prior phosphorylation at Thr-117. 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination promotes TRAF2-mediated activation of NF-kappa-B. Can be polyubiquitinated at several Lys residues via 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin chains in response to TNF signaling, leading to proteasomal degradation. Autoubiquitinated, leading to its subsequent proteasomal degradation. Polyubiquitinated by BIRC2 and SIAH2, leading to its subsequent proteasomal degradation. Deubiquitinated by CYLD, a protease that specifically cleaves 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains.

Homotrimer. Heterotrimer with TRAF1. Heterotrimer with TRAF3 (via TRAF domain). The domain containing the RING-type and the first TRAF-type zinc finger can also form homodimers (in vitro). Interacts with TNFRSF1B/TNFR2. Interacts with TNFRSF5/CD40.

Stimulation of TNF-alpha receptor TNFRSF1A leads to the formation of two distinct signaling complexes. Plasma membrane-bound complex I is composed of TNFRSF1A, TRADD, RIPK1, TRAF2 and BIRC2/c-IAP1 or BIRC3 which interacts with CHUCK/IKK-alpha, IKBKB/IKK-beta and IKBKG/IKK-gamma promoting cell survival. Subsequently, TRADD, RIPK1 and TRAF2 dissociate from TNFRSF1A and form cytoplasmic complex II with FADD and caspase CASP8 promoting cell apoptosis. Interacts with TRADD. Identified in a complex with TNFRSF1A, RIPK1 and IKBKB/IKK-beta. Interacts with RIPK2. Interacts with BIRC2 and BIRC3 N-terminus; a single BIRC2 or BIRC3 molecule interacts with a heterotrimer formed by TRAF1 and TRAF2, or a TRAF2 homotrimer. Identified in a complex composed of TRAF2, TRAF3, BIRC2 and BIRC3 (By similarity). Interacts with BIRC2; the interaction promotes BIRC2 stability. Interaction with BIRC2 and/or BIRC3 is essential for ubiquitination of IKBKE, degradation of NFKBIA and activation of NF-kappa-B (By similarity).

Interacts with TAX1BP1 in response to TNF-alpha stimulation; the interaction promotes TRAF2 dissociation from UBE2N/Ubc13 and TNFAIP3/A20, and prevents prolonged TRAF-2 ubiquitination (By similarity).

The coiled coil domain mediates homo- and hetero-oligomerization.

The MATH/TRAF domain binds to receptor cytoplasmic domains.

The RING-type zinc finger domain is essential for E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. It is not essential for the stabilization of BIRC2, or for the ubiquitination of RIPK1 in response to TNFR1 signaling.
