CLONING

Shibuya et al. (1996) used the yeast 2-hybrid system to identify brain cDNAs encoding proteins that interacted with TAK1 (602614). They recovered a gene encoding a predicted 504-amino acid protein that they named TAB1 (TAK1-binding protein-1). On Northern blots, TAB1 was expressed as a 3.5-kb mRNA in all tissues tested.

GENE FUNCTION

Shibuya et al. (1996) found that in both yeast and mammalian cells, TAB1 activated the kinase activity of TAK1 by direct interaction. They showed that the C-terminal 68 amino acids of TAB1 are sufficient for binding and activation of TAK1 in mammalian cells, while the N-terminal 418 amino acids act as a dominant-negative inhibitor of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB; 190180)-induced gene expression. Since TAK1 functions as an MAPKKK in the TGFB signaling pathway, Shibuya et al. (1996) suggested that TAB1 may be an important signaling intermediate between TGFB receptors and TAK1. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen of gastrointestinal tract tissue with p38-alpha (MAPK14; 600289) as the bait, Ge et al. (2002) isolated multiple clones encoding TAB1. Immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down analyses indicated that TAB1 interacts with p38-alpha, but not with other MAPKs, with or without treatment with TNF (191160). Immunoblot analysis showed that coexpression of TAB1 and p38-alpha enhanced autophosphorylation of p38-alpha even in the presence of dominant-negative forms of MAP2Ks (e.g., MAP2K3; 602315) and TAK1. The amino acids between positions 373 and 418 of TAB1 were found to be required for phosphorylation of p38-alpha. Expression of TLR2 (603028) caused p38-alpha phosphorylation in the presence or absence of inhibitors, whereas p38-alpha phosphorylation after stimulation of TLR4 (603030) could be inhibited by mutant TAB1, suggesting that activation of p38-alpha can be TAB1 dependent or independent. Immunoblot analysis detected the formation of TRAF6 (602355)-TAB1-p38-alpha complexes. Formation of these complexes could be enhanced by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. Ge et al. (2002) concluded that activation of p38-alpha by a nonenzymatic adaptor protein such as TAB1 may be an important alternative activation pathway operating in parallel with kinase cascades in regulating intracellular signaling.

MAPPING
