Gu Y, Liang C. TRAIP suppressed apoptosis and cell cycle to promote prostate cancer proliferation via TRAF2-PI3K-AKT pathway activation. Int Urol Nephrol 2024; 56:1639-1648. [PMID: 38100027 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-023-03890-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP) is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, which has been implicated in various cellular processes and participated in various cancers as an oncogene. However, the function and potential mechanism of TRAIP in prostate cancer (PCa) have not been investigated so far. METHODS Public TGCA data were used to evaluate the expression profile of TRAIP in prostatic tumors. The relative expression of TRAIP and TRAF2 in PCa tissues and tumor cell lines was detected by qPCR, western blot, and IHC staining. Next, TRAIP knockdown and overexpression plasmids were constructed and transfected into PCa cell lines. Moreover, cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis were measured by colony formation, Transwell, wound healing, and flow cytometry assays. Subsequently, cell cycle and signaling pathway-related proteins were tested by western blot. Finally, the effect of TRAIP on PCa was measured based on the nude mouse xenograft model. RESULTS TRAIP was significantly upregulated in PCa tissues and tumor cell lines. In addition, TRAIP promoted cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of PCa cell lines. Such an oncogenic property was mediated by the cell cycle arrest and the inhibition of apoptosis, as indicated by different functional assays and the expression of cell cycle and apoptosis regulatory proteins in cultured cells. Moreover, TRAIP combined with TRAF2 to activate PI3K/AKT pathway. Finally, TRAIP depletion suppressed the growth of tumors and cell proliferation in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our study first revealed that TRAIP promoted tumor progression and identified it as a potential therapeutic target for PCa patients in the future.

Jing Y, Mao Z, Zhu J, Ma X, Liu H, Chen F. TRAIP serves as a potential prognostic biomarker and correlates with immune infiltrates in lung adenocarcinoma. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 122:110605. [PMID: 37451021 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the major types of lung cancer with high morbidity and mortality. The TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP) is a ring-type E3 ubiquitin ligase which has been recently identified to play pivotal roles in various cancers. However, the expression and function of TRAIP in LUAD remain elusive. METHODS In this study, we used bioinformatic tools as well as molecular experiments to explore the exact role of TRAIP and the underlying mechanism. RESULTS Data mining across the UALCAN, GEPIA and GTEx, GEO and HPA databases revealed that TRAIP was significantly overexpressed in LUAD tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that high TRAIP expression was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis revealed that TRAIP was an independent risk factor in LUAD. And the TRAIP-based nomogram further supported the prognostic role of TRAIP in LUAD. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis demonstrated that TRAIP-associated genes were mainly involved in DNA replication, cell cycle and other processes. The immune infiltration analysis indicated that TRAIP expression was tightly correlated with the infiltration of diverse immune cell types, including B cell, CD8 + T cell, neutrophil and dendritic cell. Moreover, TRAIP expression was observed to be significantly associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune checkpoint molecules. In vitro experiments further confirmed knockdown of TRAIP inhibited cell migration and invasion, as well as decreasing chemokine production and inhibiting M2-like macrophage recruitment. Lastly, CMap analysis identified 10 small molecule compounds that may target TRAIP, providing potential therapies for LUAD. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study found that TRAIP is an oncogenic gene in LUAD, which may be a potential prognostic biomarker and promising therapeutic target for LUAD.

Silencing TRAIP suppresses cell proliferation and migration/invasion of triple negative breast cancer via RB-E2F signaling and EMT. Cancer Gene Ther 2023; 30:74-84. [PMID: 36064576 PMCID: PMC9842503 DOI: 10.1038/s41417-022-00517-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
TRAIP, as a 53 kDa E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, is involved in various cellular processes and closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. At present, few studies on the relationship between TRAIP and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were reported. Bioinformatic analysis and Western blot, immunohistochemistry (IHC), CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound healing, Transwell, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed, and xenograft mouse models were established to explore the role of TRAIP in TNBC. This study showed that the expression of TRAIP protein was upregulated in TNBC tissues and cell lines. Silencing of TRAIP significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells, whereas opposite results were observed in the TRAIP overexpression. In addition, TRAIP regulated cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through RB-E2F signaling and epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT). MiR-590-3p directly targeted the TRAIP 3'-UTR, and its expression were lower in TNBC tissues. Its mimic significantly downregulated the expression of TRAIP and subsequently suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Rescue experiments indicated that TRAIP silencing reversed the promotion of miR-590-3p inhibitor on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. TRAIP overexpression could also reverse the inhibition of miR-590-3p mimic on tumorigenesis. Finally, TRAIP knockdown significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in animal experiments. In conclusion, TRAIP is an oncogene that influences the proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells through RB-E2F signaling and EMT. Therefore, TRAIP may be a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.

Abstract
Mutated genes of the RAS family encoding small GTP-binding proteins drive numerous cancers, including pancreatic, colon and lung tumors. Besides the numerous effects of mutant RAS gene expression on aberrant proliferation, transformed phenotypes, metabolism, and therapy resistance, the most striking consequences of chronic RAS activation are changes of the genetic program. By performing systematic gene expression studies in cellular models that allow comparisons of pre-neoplastic with RAS-transformed cells, we and others have estimated that 7 percent or more of all transcripts are altered in conjunction with the expression of the oncogene. In this context, the number of up-regulated transcripts approximates that of down-regulated transcripts. While up-regulated transcription factors such as MYC, FOSL1, and HMGA2 have been identified and characterized as RAS-responsive drivers of the altered transcriptome, the suppressed factors have been less well studied as potential regulators of the genetic program and transformed phenotype in the breadth of their occurrence. We therefore have collected information on downregulated RAS-responsive factors and discuss their potential role as tumor suppressors that are likely to antagonize active cancer drivers. To better understand the active mechanisms that entail anti-RAS function and those that lead to loss of tumor suppressor activity, we focus on the tumor suppressor HREV107 (alias PLAAT3 [Phospholipase A and acyltransferase 3], PLA2G16 [Phospholipase A2, group XVI] and HRASLS3 [HRAS-like suppressor 3]). Inactivating HREV107 mutations in tumors are extremely rare, hence epigenetic causes modulated by the RAS pathway are likely to lead to down-regulation and loss of function.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and relapsing cutaneous disorder characterized by compromised immune system, excessive inflammation, and skin barrier disruption. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are covalent and enzymatic modifications of proteins after their translation, which have been reported to play roles in inflammatory and allergic diseases. However, less attention has been paid to the effect of PTMs on AD. This review summarized the knowledge of six major classes (including phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, glycosylation, o-glycosylation, and glycation) of PTMs in AD pathogenesis and discussed the opportunities for disease management.

[PMID: 34867056 PMCID: PMC8626312 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2021.08.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Tumor necrosis factor interacting protein (TRAIP/TRIP) is an important cell-signaling molecule that prevents the TNF-induced-nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation via direct interaction with TRAF 2 protein. TRAIP is a crucial downstream signaling molecule, implicated in several signaling pathways. Due to these multifunctional effects, TRAIP is more related to cellular mitosis, chromosome segregation, and DNA damage response. Tumor necrosis factor interacting protein is a downstream signaling molecule that contains a RING domain with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity at the N terminal side followed by coiled-coil and C terminal leucine zipper domain. Human TRAIP is constituted of 469 amino acids with 76% sequence similarity with the mouse TRAIP protein. Although, the main inhibitory function of TRAIP has been known for decades, however, in vitro interaction of TRAIPCC domain with RAP80 Zinc finger motif has not been reported yet. Besides, RAP80, the binding partner of TRAIPCC protein has been implicated in DNA damage response. Results Our in vitro study shows that the TRAIP CC (64-166) associates with the RAP80 zinc finger of corresponding amino acid 490-584. However, TRAIP CCLZ (66-260) and TRAIP RINGCC (1 = 157) failed to interact with the RAP80 zinc finger of corresponding amino acid 490-584. The current study reinforces TRAIP CC (64-166) and RAP80 zinc finger of corresponding amino acid 490-584 associates to form a complex. Moreover, SDS PAGE arbitrated the homogeneity of RAP80 Zinc finger and TRAIP CC of corresponding amino acid 490-584 and 64-166, respectively. Conclusion In vitro, a specific interaction was observed between the TRAIP CC (64-166) and the RAP80 zinc finger of the corresponding amino acid 490-584 and a specific binding area of the RAP80 zinc finger motif were investigated. The TRAIPCC region is required for the complex to bind to the RAP80-Zn finger motif. This strategy may be necessary for the RAP80 zinc finger activity to the TRAIP CC protein.

Abstract
Actin-Related Protein-Testis1 (ARP-T1)/ACTRT1 gene mutations cause the Bazex-Dupré-Christol Syndrome (BDCS) characterized by follicular atrophoderma, hypotrichosis, and basal cell cancer. Here, we report an ARP-T1 interactome (PXD016557) that includes proteins involved in ciliogenesis, endosomal recycling, and septin ring formation. In agreement, ARP-T1 localizes to the midbody during cytokinesis and the basal body of primary cilia in interphase. Tissue samples from ARP-T1-associated BDCS patients have reduced ciliary length. The severity of the shortened cilia significantly correlates with the ARP-T1 levels, which was further validated by ACTRT1 knockdown in culture cells. Thus, we propose that ARP-T1 participates in the regulation of cilia length and that ARP-T1-associated BDCS is a case of skin cancer with ciliopathy characteristics. Park et al. characterise the interactome, localisation and function of Actin-Related Protein-Testis1 protein (ARP-T1), encoded by the ACTRT1 gene, associated with inherited basal cell cancer. They find that ARP-T1 is localised to the primary cilia basal body in epidermal cells, interacts with the cilia machinery, and is needed for proper ciliogenesis.

Abstract
Choroidal melanoma (CM) remains the most prevalent form of intraocular malignancy, and the prognosis of affected patients is poor. While the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRAF-interacting protein (TRIP) is known to play key regulatory roles in multiple diseases, its relevance in CM remains uncertain. In the present study, we found that TRIP overexpression is sufficient to inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of CM cells in vitro, whereas the opposite phenotypes are observed following TRIP knockdown. We further determined that TRIP is able to promote the K48-polyubiquitination of EMT-associated transcription factor Twist-related protein 1, thereby suppressing EMT progression. Together, our results suggest that TRIP plays an important role in regulating the progression of CM and that it may therefore be an important therapeutic target for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS, OMIM 605041) is a rare monogenic skin disease characterized by the development of skin appendage tumors caused by mutations in the cylindromatosis gene. We recently investigated a Hungarian and an Anglo-Saxon pedigrees affected by Brooke-Spiegler syndrome. Despite carrying the same disease-causing mutation (c.2806C>T, p.Arg936X) of the cylindromatosis (CYLD) gene, the affected family members of the two pedigrees exhibit striking differences in their phenotypes. To identify phenotype-modifying genetic factors, whole exome sequencing was performed and the data from the Hungarian and Anglo-Saxon BSS patients were compared. Three putative phenotype-modifying genetic variants were identified: the rs1053023 SNP of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene, the rs1131877 SNP of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) gene and the rs202122812 SNP of the neighbour of BRCA1 gene 1 (NBR1) gene. Our study contributes to the accumulating evidence for the clinical importance of phenotype-modifying genetic factors, which are potentially important for the elucidation of disease prognosis.

[PMID: 31972358 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2020.109857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP) is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase which has been implicated in various cellular processes, including NF-κB activation, DNA damage response, mitosis, and tumorigenesis. It is considered as a tumor suppressor in basal cell carcinomas and breast cancer in previous studies. However, in our current study, we found that TRAIP exhibited oncogenic properties in liver cancer. In order to determine its effect on tumor biology and the potential mechanism, a variety of advanced experimental technology was used, such as bioinformatic analysis, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) analysis, tissue microarray detection, and other in vitro cell biology experiments. The results showed that TRAIP was up-regulated in liver cancer and negatively correlated with prognosis. When TRAIP was knocked-down with lentivirus containing specific targeting short hairpin RNAs, the malignant behaviors of Bel7404 cells were significantly inhibited. Meanwhile, overexpression of TRAIP exerted oncogenic effects in SNU449 cells. More importantly, the iTRAQ analysis indicated that TRAIP was significantly related to centriole, centromere, and histone deacetylation, which are critical for mitosis. These findings are in line with previous reports that TRAIP contributes to proper mitosis. Additionally, the iTRAQ analysis also supported that TRAIP may affect G1/S transition by regulating the expression of certain cell cycle related proteins. In summary, our study firstly revealed that TRAIP was up-regulated and negatively correlated with prognosis in liver cancer patients and exhibited oncogenic properties in liver cancer cells, making it a potential target for treatment of liver cancer.

Abstract
CYLD is a deubiquitylase with tumor suppressor functions, first identified in patients with familial cylindromatosis. Despite many molecular mechanisms in which a function of CYLD was reported, affected patients only develop skin appendage tumors, and their precise pathogenesis remains enigmatic. To elucidate how CYLD contributes to tumor formation, we aimed to identify molecular partners in keratinocytes. By using yeast two-hybrid, coprecipitation, and proximity ligation experiments, we identified CENPV as a CYLD-interacting partner. CENPV, a constituent of mitotic chromosomes associating with cytoplasmic microtubules, interacts with CYLD through the region between the third cytoskeleton-associated protein-glycine domain and the active site. CENPV is deubiquitylated by CYLD and localizes in interphase to primary cilia where it increases the ciliary levels of acetylated α-tubulin. CENPV is overexpressed in basal cell carcinoma. Our results support the notion that centromeric proteins have functions in ciliogenesis.

[PMID: 30979826 PMCID: PMC6464043 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.201900390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2019] [Accepted: 03/29/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Analysis of the mitotic replisome disassembly pathway in X. laevis egg extract shows that any replisomes retained on chromatin past S-phase are unloaded through formation of K6- and K63-linked ubiquitin chains on Mcm7 by TRAIP ubiquitin ligase and p97/VCP activity. We have shown previously that the process of replication machinery (replisome) disassembly at the termination of DNA replication forks in the S-phase is driven through polyubiquitylation of one of the replicative helicase subunits (Mcm7) by Cul2LRR1 ubiquitin ligase. Interestingly, upon inhibition of this pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, the replisomes retained on chromatin were unloaded in the subsequent mitosis. Here, we show that this mitotic replisome disassembly pathway exists in Xenopus laevis egg extract and we determine the first elements of its regulation. The mitotic disassembly pathway depends on the formation of K6- and K63-linked ubiquitin chains on Mcm7 by TRAIP ubiquitin ligase and the activity of p97/VCP protein segregase. Unlike in lower eukaryotes, however, it does not require SUMO modifications. Importantly, we also show that this process can remove all replisomes from mitotic chromatin, including stalled ones, which indicates a wide application for this pathway over being just a “backup” for terminated replisomes. Finally, we characterise the composition of the replisome retained on chromatin until mitosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug repositioning is becoming an ideal strategy to select new anticancer drugs. In particular, drugs treating the side effects of chemotherapy are the best candidates. OBJECTIVE In this present work, we undertook the evaluation of anti-tumour activity of two anti-diarrheal drugs (nifuroxazide and rifaximin). METHODS Anti-proliferative effect against breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and T47D) was assessed by MTT analysis, the Brdu incorporation, mitochondrial permeability and caspase-3 activity. RESULTS Both the drugs displayed cytotoxic effects on MCF-7, T47D and MDA-MB-231 cells. The lowest IC50 values were obtained on MCF-7 cells after 24, 48 and 72 hours of treatment while T47D and MDA-MB-231 were more resistant. The IC50 values on T47D and MDA-MB-231 cells became significantly low after 72 hours of treatment showing a late cytotoxicity effect especially of nifuroxazide but still less important than that of MCF-7 cells. According to the IC50 values, the non-tumour cell line HEK293 seems to be less sensitive to cytotoxicity especially against rifaximin. Both the drugs have shown an accumulation of rhodamine 123 as a function of the rise of their concentrations while the Brdu incorporation decreased. Despite the absence of a significant difference in the cell cycle between the treated and non-treated MCF-7 cells, the caspase-3 activity increased with the drug concentrations rise suggesting an apoptotic effect. CONCLUSION Nifuroxazide and rifaximin are used to overcome the diarrheal side effect of anticancer drugs. However, they have shown to be anti-tumour drugs which make them potential dual effective drugs against cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy.

Abstract
TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP), a negative regulator of TNF-induced-nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation, inhibits adaptor protein TRAF2 by direct interaction and is critical in apoptosis, cell proliferation, antiviral response, and embryonic development. Although the critical function of TRAIP in NF-κB signaling is well-known, the molecular inhibitory mechanism of TRAIP remains unclear. We found that the TRAIP coiled-coil domain altered its stoichiometry between dimer and trimer in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, the TRAIP RING domain induced even higher-ordered assembly, which was necessary for interacting with the TRAF-N domain of TRAF2 but not TRAF1. Characterization of the TRAF-N domains of TRAF1 and TRAF2, the tentative TRAIP-binding region of TRAFs, suggested the molecular basis of the inhibitory effect of TRAIP on TRAF2 in NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
TLR4 is an innate immune receptor with expression in human skin, keratinocytes as well as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. In the present study we investigate the role of TLR4 as a negative regulator of keratinocyte proliferation. We present here that the expression of TLR4 increased with the differentiation of cultured keratinocytes in a passage-dependent manner or under calcium-rich conditions. Moreover, the down-regulation of TLR4 by specific knockdown increased the proliferation of HaCaT keratinocytes in vitro. In addition, subcutaneously injected HaCaT keratinocytes with shTLR4 formed growing tumors in nude mice. In contrast, we observed lower proliferation and increased migration in vitro of the SCC13 cell line stably overexpressing TLR4 in comparison to SCC13 TLR4 negative cells. In vivo, SCC13 TLR4-overexpressing tumors showed delayed growth in comparison to TLR4 negative tumors. The overexpression of TLR4 in SCC13 tumor cells was followed by phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and JNK and increased expression of ATF3. In gene expression arrays, the overexpression of TLR4 in tumor cells correlated with gene expression of ATF-3, IL-6, CDH13, CXCL-1 and TFPI. In summary, TLR4 negatively regulates the proliferation of keratinocytes and its overexpression reduces tumor growth of SCC cells.

Abstract
To prevent genomic instability disorders, cells have developed a DNA damage response. The response involves various proteins that sense damaged DNA, transduce damage signals, and effect DNA repair. In addition, ubiquitin modifications modulate the signaling pathway depending on cellular context. Among various types of DNA damage, double-stranded breaks are highly toxic to genomic integrity. Homologous recombination (HR) repair is an essential mechanism that fixes DNA damage because of its high level of accuracy. Although factors in the repair pathway are well established, pinpointing the exact mechanisms of repair and devising therapeutic applications requires more studies. Moreover, essential functions of ubiquitin modification in the DNA damage signaling pathway have emerged. In this review, to explore the eukaryotic DNA damage response, we will mention the functions of main factors in the HR repair pathway and ubiquitin modification.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of TRAF-Interacting Protein in Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes. Mediators Inflamm 2016; 2016:3906108.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, synovial inflammation, and cartilage destruction. Proliferative fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) play crucial roles in both propagation of inflammation and joint damage because of their production of great amount of proinflammatory cytokines and proteolytic enzymes. In this study, we investigate the role of TRAF-interacting protein (TRIP) in regulating inflammatory process in RA-FLS. TRIP expression was attenuated in RA-FLS compared with osteoarthritis- (OA-) FLS. Overexpression of TRIP significantly inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling and decreased the production of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in TNFα-stimulated RA-FLS. Furthermore, TRIP was found to interact with transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) and promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination of TAK1 in RA-FLS. Our results demonstrate that TRIP has anti-inflammatory effects on RA-FLS and suggest TRIP as a potential therapeutic target for human RA.

Abstract
TRIP (Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Receptor-Associated Factor (TRAF)-Interacting Protein), a member of the TNF superfamily, plays a crucial role in the modulation of inflammation in vertebrates. However, no information about TRIP is available in teleosts. In this study, the full-length cDNA of TRIP, containing a 5'UTR of 112 bp, an ORF of 1359 bp, and a 3'UTR of 29 bp before the poly (A) tail, was cloned from grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella. The TRIP gene encoded a protein of 452 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 51.06 KD and a predicted theoretical isoelectric point (pI) of 9.11. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that TRIP mRNA was expressed in all the tissues examined in grass carp, with the highest expression in the kidney, followed by the intestine and thymus. However, lower levels of expression were also detected in fat, spleen, liver, gonad and heart. Subcellular localization and two-hybrid analysis revealed that TRIP was located in the nucleus and that it interacted with TRAF1 and TRAF2 in HEK293T cells. Furthermore, similar to TNF-α, IL-10 and TRIP mRNA expression was upregulated in the spleen of fish fed high-fat or high-carbohydrate diets, suggesting that TRIP might be associated with the response to excessive energy intake. The mRNA relative expression of TRIP was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) after hepatocyte of C. idella was treated with 2 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 4 h, while the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-10 were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that TRIP might play important roles in immune defense and has the potential to be used as a anti-inflammation target in grass carp.

Abstract
Recent whole-exome sequencing (WES) studies demonstrated that TRAIP is associated with primordial dwarfism. Although TRAIP was partially studied in mitosis, its function in oocyte meiosis remained unknown. In this study, we investigated the roles of TRAIP during mouse oocyte meiosis. TRAIP was stably expressed during oocytes meiosis and co-localized with CREST at the centromere region. Knockdown of TRAIP led to DNA damage, as revealed by the appearance of γH2AX. Although oocytes meiotic maturation was not affected, the proportions of misaligned chromosomes and aneuploidy were elevated after TRAIP knockdown, suggesting TRAIP is required for stable kinetochore–microtubule (K-MT) attachment. TRAIP knockdown decreased the accumulation of Mad2 on centromeres, potentially explaining why oocyte maturation was not affected following formation of DNA lesions. Securin, a protein which was prevent from precocious degradation by Mad2, was down-regulated after TRAIP knockdown. Inhibition of TRAIP by microinjection of antibody into pro-metaphase I (pro-MI) stage oocytes resulted in precocious first polar body (PB1) extrusion, and live-cell imaging clearly revealed misaligned chromosomes after TRAIP knockdown. Taken together, these data indicate that TRAIP plays important roles in oocyte meiosis regulation.

Abstract
PCNA is a central scaffold that coordinately assembles replication and repair machineries at DNA replication forks for faithful genome duplication. Here, we describe TRAIP (RNF206) as a novel PCNA-interacting factor that has important roles during mammalian replicative stress responses. We show that TRAIP encodes a nucleolar protein that migrates to stalled replication forks, and that this is accomplished by its targeting of PCNA via an evolutionarily conserved PIP box on its C terminus. Accordingly, inactivation of TRAIP or its interaction with the PCNA clamp compromised replication fork recovery and progression, and leads to chromosome instability. Together, our findings establish TRAIP as a component of the mammalian replicative stress response network, and implicate the TRAIP-PCNA axis in recovery of stalled replication forks.

Abstract
The TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase required for cell proliferation. TRAIP mRNA is downregulated in human keratinocytes after inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. Since E2F transcription factors are downstream of PI3K/AKT/mTOR we investigated whether they regulate TRAIP expression. E2F1 expression significantly increased the TRAIP mRNA level in HeLa cells. Reporter assays with the 1400bp 5′-upstream promoter in HeLa cells and human keratinocytes showed that E2F1-, E2F2- and E2F4-induced upregulation of TRAIP expression is mediated by 168bp upstream of the translation start site. Mutating the E2F binding site within this fragment reduced the E2F1- and E2F2-dependent promoter activities and protein-DNA complex formation in gel shift assays. Abundance of TRAIP mRNA and protein was regulated by the cell cycle with a peak in G2/M. Expression of GFP and TRAIP-GFP demonstrated that TRAIP-GFP protein has a lower steady-state concentration than GFP despite similar mRNA levels. Cycloheximide inhibition experiments indicated that the TRAIP protein has a half-life of around four hours. Therefore, the combination of cell cycle-dependent transcription of the TRAIP gene by E2F and rapid protein degradation leads to cell cycle-dependent expression with a maximum in G2/M. These findings suggest that TRAIP has important functions in mitosis and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
DNA lesions encountered by replicative polymerases threaten genome stability and cell cycle progression. Here we report the identification of mutations in TRAIP, encoding an E3 RING ubiquitin ligase, in patients with microcephalic primordial dwarfism. We establish that TRAIP relocalizes to sites of DNA damage, where it is required for optimal phosphorylation of H2AX and RPA2 during S-phase in response to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, as well as fork progression through UV-induced DNA lesions. TRAIP is necessary for efficient cell cycle progression and mutations in TRAIP therefore limit cellular proliferation, providing a potential mechanism for microcephaly and dwarfism phenotypes. Human genetics thus identifies TRAIP as a component of the DNA damage response to replication-blocking DNA lesions.

Abstract
The signaling pathway downstream of TNF receptor (TNFR) is involved in the induction of a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, and apoptosis. TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is a key adaptor molecule in TNFR signaling complexes that promotes downstream signaling cascades, such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. TRAF-interacting protein (TRIP) is a known cellular binding partner of TRAF2 and inhibits TNF-induced NF-κB activation. Recent findings that TRIP plays a multifunctional role in antiviral response, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic development have increased our interest in exploring how TRIP can affect the TNFR-signaling pathway on a molecular level. In our current study, we demonstrated that TRIP is negatively involved in the TNF-induced inflammatory response through the down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokine production. Here, we demonstrated that the TRAF2-TRIP interaction inhibits Lys(63)-linked TRAF2 ubiquitination by inhibiting TRAF2 E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase activity. The TRAF2-TRIP interaction inhibited the binding of sphingosine 1-phosphate, which is a cofactor of TRAF2 E3 Ub ligase, to the TRAF2 RING domain. Finally, we demonstrated that TRIP functions as a negative regulator of proinflammatory cytokine production by inhibiting TNF-induced NF-κB activation. These results indicate that TRIP is an important cellular regulator of the TNF-induced inflammatory response.

Abstract
Accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis is temporally and spatially coordinated by fidelity-monitoring checkpoint systems. Deficiencies in these checkpoint systems can lead to chromosome segregation errors and aneuploidy, and promote tumorigenesis. Here, we report that the TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP), a ubiquitously expressed nucleolar E3 ubiquitin ligase important for cellular proliferation, is localized close to mitotic chromosomes. Its knockdown in HeLa cells by RNA interference (RNAi) decreased the time of early mitosis progression from nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB) to anaphase onset and increased the percentages of chromosome alignment defects in metaphase and lagging chromosomes in anaphase compared with those of control cells. The decrease in progression time was corrected by the expression of wild-type but not a ubiquitin-ligase-deficient form of TRAIP. TRAIP-depleted cells bypassed taxol-induced mitotic arrest and displayed significantly reduced kinetochore levels of MAD2 (also known as MAD2L1) but not of other spindle checkpoint proteins in the presence of nocodazole. These results imply that TRAIP regulates the spindle assembly checkpoint, MAD2 abundance at kinetochores and the accurate cellular distribution of chromosomes. The TRAIP ubiquitin ligase activity is functionally required for the spindle assembly checkpoint control.

UVB-induced skin inflammation and cutaneous tissue injury is dependent on the MHC class I-like protein, CD1d. J Invest Dermatol 2013; 134:192-202.

Abstract
CD1d is a major histocompatibility complex class 1–like molecule that regulates the function and development of natural killer T (NKT) cells. Previously, we identified a critical role for the CD1d-NKT cell arm of innate immunity in promoting the development of UVB-induced p53 mutations, immune suppression, and skin tumors. Sunburn, an acute inflammatory response to UVB-induced cutaneous tissue injury, represents a clinical marker for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) risk. However, the innate immune mechanisms controlling sunburn development are not considered relevant in NMSC etiology, and remain poorly investigated. Here we found that CD1d knockout (CD1d−/−) mice resist UVB-induced cutaneous tissue injury and inflammation compared with wild-type (WT) mice. This resistance was coupled with a faster epithelial tissue healing response. In contrast, the skins of UVB-irradiated invariant NKT cell-knockout (Jα18−/−) and NKT cell–deficient (TCRα−/−) mice, which express CD1d but are deficient in CD1d-dependent NKT cells, exhibited as much cutaneous tissue injury and inflammation as WT mice. In the absence of NKT cells, CD1d-deficient keratinocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages exhibited diminished basal and stress-induced levels of pro-inflammatory mediators. Thus, our findings identify an essential role for CD1d in promoting UVB-induced cutaneous tissue injury and inflammation. They also suggest sunburn and NMSC etiologies are immunologically linked.

Abstract
Ubiquitination of proteins is a post-translational modification, which decides on the cellular fate of the protein. Addition of ubiquitin moieties to proteins is carried out by the sequential action of three enzymes: E1, ubiquitin-activating enzyme; E2, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; and E3, ubiquitin ligase. The TRAF-interacting protein (TRAIP, TRIP, RNF206) functions as Really Interesting New Gene (RING)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, but its physiological substrates are not yet known. TRAIP was reported to interact with TRAF [tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factors] and the two tumor suppressors CYLD and Syk (spleen tyrosine kinase). Ectopically expressed TRAIP was shown to inhibit nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling. However, recent results suggested a role for TRAIP in biological processes other than NF-κB regulation. Knock-down of TRAIP in human epidermal keratinocytes repressed cellular proliferation and induced a block in the G1/S phase of the cell cycle without affecting NF-κB signalling. TRAIP is necessary for embryonal development as mutations affecting the Drosophila homologue of TRAIP are maternal effect-lethal mutants, and TRAIP knock-out mice die in utero because of aberrant regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. These findings underline the tight link between TRAIP and cell proliferation. In this review, we summarize the data on TRAIP and put them into a larger perspective regarding the role of TRAIP in the control of tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
TRAF-interacting protein (TRIP) negatively regulates TLR3/4- and RIG-I–induced IFN-β signaling by promoting K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TBK1. TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) plays an essential role in Toll-like receptor (TLR)– and retinoic acid–inducible gene I (RIG-I)–mediated induction of type I interferon (IFN; IFN-α/β) and host antiviral responses. How TBK1 activity is negatively regulated remains largely unknown. We report that TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)–interacting protein (TRIP) promotes proteasomal degradation of TBK1 and inhibits TLR3/4- and RIG-I–induced IFN-β signaling. TRIP knockdown resulted in augmented activation of IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and enhanced expression of IFN-β in TLR3/4- and RIG-I–activated primary peritoneal macrophages, whereas overexpression of TRIP had opposite effects. Consistently, TRIP impaired Sendai virus (SeV) infection–induced IRF3 activation and IFN-β production and promoted vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication. As an E3 ubiquitin ligase, TRIP negatively regulated the cellular levels of TBK1 by directly binding to and promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination of TBK1. Therefore, we identified TRIP as a negative regulator in TLR3/4- and RIG-I–triggered antiviral responses and suggested TRIP as a potential target for the intervention of diseases with uncontrolled IFN-β production.
