We have identified three new tumor necrosis
factor-receptor associated factor (TRAF) domain-containing proteins in
humans using bioinformatics approaches, including: MUL, the product of the causative gene in Mulibrey Nanism syndrome; USP7 (HAUSP), an
ubiquitin protease; and SPOP, a POZ domain-containing protein. Unlike
classical TRAF family proteins involved in TNF family receptor (TNFR)
signaling, the TRAF domains (TDs) of MUL, USP7, and SPOP are located
near the NH2 termini or central region of these
proteins, rather than carboxyl end. MUL and USP7 are capable of binding in vitro via their TDs to all of the previously identified
TRAF family proteins (TRAF1, TRAF2, TRAF3, TRAF4, TRAF5, and TRAF6), whereas the TD of SPOP interacts weakly with TRAF1 and TRAF6 only. The
TD of MUL also interacted with itself, whereas the TDs of USP7 and SPOP
did not self-associate. Analysis of various MUL and USP7 mutants by
transient transfection assays indicated that the TDs of these proteins
are necessary and sufficient for suppressing NF- B induction by TRAF2
and TRAF6 as well as certain TRAF-binding TNF family receptors. In
contrast, the TD of SPOP did not inhibit NF- B induction.
Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy indicated that MUL localizes to
cytosolic bodies, with targeting to these structures mediated by a RBCC
tripartite domain within the MUL protein. USP7 localized predominantly
to the nucleus, in a TD-dependent manner. Data base
searches revealed multiple proteins containing TDs homologous to those
found in MUL, USP7, and SPOP throughout eukaryotes, including yeast,
protists, plants, invertebrates, and mammals, suggesting that this
branch of the TD family arose from an ancient gene. We propose the
moniker TEFs (TD-encompassing factors) for this large family of proteins.
