Abstract
As an important adaptor protein in innate immunity, TRAF6 is not only responsible for the transduction of signal pathways, but its E3 ligase activity to transfer ubiquitination has also been widely studied. Under LPS stimulation, TRAF6 transfers the K63-linked ubiquitination chain to TAK1, which in turn activates the transcription factor NF-κB and cell signaling factors downstream of the signaling pathway. However, how TRAF6 expression is regulated remains largely unknown, especially in teleost. In this study, we identified hnRNPub as a suppressor of TRAF6 expression. The mRNA level of hnRNPub significantly increased under LPS stimulation, and hnRNPub inhibited NF-κB signaling pathway by targeting TRAF6. Knockdown of hnRNPub potentiated inflammatory cytokines, such as TNFα,IL-1β,IL-8. Mechanistically, hnRNPub inhibited NF-κB signaling pathway through mediating K48-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TRAF6. Thus, our findings reveal that hnRNPub limits LPS-induced innate activation by promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TRAF6.
