Anti-TRAIP

This gene encodes a protein that contains an N-terminal RING finger motif and a putative coiled-coil domain. A similar murine protein interacts with TNFR-associated factor 1 (TRAF1), TNFR-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), and cylindromatosis. The interaction with TRAF2 inhibits TRAF2-mediated nuclear factor kappa-B, subunit 1 activation that is required for cell activation and protection against apoptosis. Protein function: E3 ubiquitin ligase acting as a negative regulator of innate immune signaling. Inhibits activation of NF-kappa-B mediated by TNF. Negatively regulates TLR3/4- and RIG-I-mediated IRF3 activation and subsequent IFNB1 production and cellular antiviral response by promoting 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination of TNK1 leading to its proteasomal degradation (PubMed:22945920). Involved in response to genotoxic lesions during genome replication. Promotes H2AX and RPA2 phosphorylation after replication-associated DNA damage and assists fork progression at UV-induced replication-blocking lesions during S phase (PubMed:26595769). Has also been proposed to play a role in promoting translesion synthesis by mediating the assembly of 'Lys- 63'-linked poly-ubiquitin chains on the Y-family polymerase POLN in order to facilitate bypass of DNA lesions and preserve genomic integrity (PubMed:24553286). The function in translesion synthesis is controversial (PubMed:26595769). [The UniProt Consortium]
