Abstract

NF- Kappa B-inducing kinase (NIK) has been implicated as an essential component of NF- Kappa B activation. However, the regulatory mechanism of NIK signaling remains elusive. We have identified a novel NIK interacting protein, TNAP (for TRAFs and NIK-associated protein). In mammalian cells, TNAP physically interacts with NIK, TRAF2, and TRAF3 but not IKK1 or IKK2. TNAP specifically inhibits NF- Kappa B activation induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, TNF receptor 1, TRADD, RIP, TRAF2, and NIK but does not affect IKK1- and IKK2- mediated NF- Kappa B activation. Knockdown of TNAP by lentiviral-mediated small interference RNA potentiates TNF-alpha-induced NF- Kappa B activation. TNAP suppresses NIK kinase activity and subsequently reduces p100 processing, p65 phosphorylation, and I Kappa Balpha degradation. These data suggest that TNAP is a repressor of NIK activity and regulates both the classical and alternative NF- Kappa B signaling pathways.
