Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1-associated death domain protein (TRADD) is the core adaptor recruited to TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) upon TNFα stimulation. In cells from TRADD-deficient mice, TNFα-mediated apoptosis and TNFα-stimulated NF-κB, JNK, and ERK activation are defective. TRADD is also important for germinal center formation, DR3-mediated costimulation of T cells, and TNFα-mediated inflammatory responses in vivo. TRADD deficiency does not enhance IFNγ-induced signaling. Importantly, TRADD has a novel role in TLR3 and TLR4 signaling. TRADD participates in the TLR4 complex formed upon LPS stimulation, and TRADD-deficient macrophages show impaired cytokine production in response to TLR ligands in vitro. Thus, TRADD is a multifunctional protein crucial both for TNFR1 signaling and other signaling pathways relevant to immune responses.
