ABSTRACT The activation of IκB kinase (IKK) is a key step in the nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NF-κB. IKK is a complex composed of three subunits: IKKα, IKKβ, and IKKγ (also called NEMO). In response to the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IKK is activated after being recruited to the TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1) complex via TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2). We found that the IKKα and IKKβ catalytic subunits are required for IKK-TRAF2 interaction. This interaction occurs through the leucine zipper motif common to IKKα, IKKβ, and the RING finger domain of TRAF2, and either IKKα or IKKβ alone is sufficient for the recruitment of IKK to TNF-R1. Importantly, IKKγ is not essential for TNF-induced IKK recruitment to TNF-R1, as this occurs efficiently in IKKγ-deficient cells. Using TRAF2−/− cells, we demonstrated that the TNF-induced interaction between IKKγ and the death domain kinase RIP is TRAF2 dependent and that one possible function of this interaction is to stabilize the IKK complex when it interacts with TRAF2.

AbstractIn the early 1990s, it has been described that LTα and LTβ form LTα2β and LTαβ2 heterotrimers, which bind to TNFR1 and LTβR, respectively. Afterwards, the LTαβ2–LTβR system has been intensively studied while the LTα2β–TNFR1 interaction has been ignored to date, presumably due to the fact that at the time of identification of the LTα2β–TNFR1 interaction one knew already two ligands for TNFR1, namely TNF and LTα. Here, we show that LTα2β interacts not only with TNFR1 but also with TNFR2. We furthermore demonstrate that membrane-bound LTα2β (memLTα2β), despite its asymmetric structure, stimulates TNFR1 and TNFR2 signaling. Not surprising in view of its ability to interact with TNFR2, LTα2β is inhibited by Etanercept, which is approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and also inhibits TNF and LTα.
