PG - 38466-38477 LID - S0021-9258(20)50691-1 [pii] LID - 10.1074/jbc.M111.254888 [doi] AB - Acute versus chronic inflammation is controlled by the accurate activation and regulation of interdependent signaling cascades. TNF-receptor 1 engagement concomitantly activates NF-kappaB and JNK signaling. The correctly timed activation of these pathways is the key to account for the balance between NF-kappaB-mediated cell survival and cell death, the latter fostered by prolonged JNK activation. Tristetraprolin (TTP), initially described as an mRNA destabilizing protein, acts as negative feedback regulator of the inflammatory response: it destabilizes cytokine-mRNAs but also acts as an NF-kappaB inhibitor by interfering with the p65/RelA nuclear import pathway. Our biochemical studies provide evidence that TTP contributes to the NF-kappaB/JNK balance. We find that the MAP 3-kinase MEKK1 acts as a novel TTP kinase that, together with the TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), constitutes not only a main determinate of the NF-kappaB-JNK cross-talk but also facilitates "TTP hypermodification": MEKK1 triggers TTP phosphorylation as prerequisite for its Lys-63-linked, TRAF2-mediated ubiquitination. Consequently, TTP no longer affects NF-kappaB activity but promotes the activation of JNK. Based on our data, we suggest a model where upon TNFalpha induction, TTP transits a hypo- to hypermodified state, thereby contributing to the molecular regulation of NF-kappaB versus JNK signaling cascades.
