Descriptions

The Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Receptor Associated Factor (TRAF) class of intracellular signal transducers is responsible for mediating many of the activation events initiated by TNF receptor (TNFR) and Toll-like/Interleukin-1, 17 and 18 receptor (TIR) families. ​​These receptors can, both directly and indirectly, activate TRAF6 via specific binding of proteins containing TRAF Interacting Motif (TIM) peptides to a groove on the carboxyl-terminal MATH domain.
TRAF6 is autoinhibited by an intramolecular interaction between the RING-Zinc (RZ) region and MATH domain. The interaction renders TRAF6 inactive and structurally closed, as well as incapable of auto-ubiquitination. RING-Zinc fingers region and the MATH domain are targets for ubiquitination. TRAF autoubiquitination in trans is a means of sustaining an open conformation active in downstream signaling.

cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
cytoskeleton A cellular structure that forms the internal framework of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton includes intermediate filaments, microfilaments, microtubules, the microtrabecular lattice, and other structures characterized by a polymeric filamentous nature and long-range order within the cell. The various elements of the cytoskeleton not only serve in the maintenance of cellular shape but also have roles in other cellular functions, including cellular movement, cell division, endocytosis, and movement of organelles.

Golgi apparatus A membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle of the endomembrane system that further processes the core oligosaccharides (e.g. N-glycans) added to proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and packages them into membrane-bound vesicles. The Golgi apparatus operates at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.

signal transduction The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.
