PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a N-terminal cys/his-rich region
  • a RING-type zinc finger
  • a coiled-coil motif, required for association with IKBKG
  • a TRAF domain
  • lacks the conserved C-terminal domain found in TRAF1–6, and instead it has several WD40 repeats in its C-terminal domain , C-terminal WD40 domain has been shown to facilitate TRAF7 interaction with MAP3K3
  • mono polymer homomer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY

    FAMILY
  • tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) protein family

    basic FUNCTION
  • may have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity
  • potentiates MAP3K3-induced AP1 and CHOP activation
  • induces caspase-dependent apoptosis when overexpressed
  • involved in MAP3K3 signaling and apoptosis
  • potentiated MAP3K3-mediated AP1 and CHOP activation and induced apoptosis through distinct domains
  • negatively regulates MYB activity by sequestering MYB to the cytosol via sumoylation
  • involved in the signal transduction pathway that links Toll-like receptor 2 stimulation to activation of NFKB transcription factor
  • TRAF7 also influences RELA nuclear distribution
  • negative role for TRAF7 in NFKB signaling
  • acts as a negative regulator of NFKBB and functions as a positive regulator of AP1
  • important role for TRAF7 in the activation of JNK following TNF stimulation and clearly point to an involvement of this protein in regulating the turnover of CFLAR and, consequently, cell death
  • is involved in signal transduction pathways that lead either to activation or repression of NFKB1 transcription factor
  • E3 ubiquitin ligase for several proteins involved in the activation of TLR-dependent NF-kappaB signaling
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to MYB and stimulates its sumoylation (bound to the DNA-binding domain of MYB via its WD40 repeats and TRAF7 has an E3 ubiquitin ligase activity for self-ubiquitination)
  • direct MYOD1 target
  • IKBKG, the NF-KB essential modulator, is a TRAF7-interacting protein
  • interacting with IKBKG, and RELA (promotes Lys-29-linked polyubiquitination of IKBKG and RELA that results in lysosomal degradation of both proteins and altered activation)
  • TRAF7-mediated ubiquitination of TP53 plays a critical role in breast cancer development
  • TRAF7 interacts by its WD40 domain with MAP3K3 and coexpression of TRAF7 with MAP3K3 activates the JNK and MAPK14 signaling pathways that affect cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and migration
  • TRAF7 links TNFR family proteins to signaling pathways, thus participates in regulating cell death and survival mediated by TNF family ligands
