NF-kappaB activator 1 (Act1), also called CIKS, is a recently identified protein with NF-kappaB and AP-1 activation activities through its association with the IkappaB kinase complex. We identified and confirmed that Act1 interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6); notably, Act1 binds to TRAF6 only among TRAF family proteins. The amino-terminal half of Act1 is required for its interaction with the TRAF domain. Act1-mediated NF-kappaB activation was inhibited by a dominant-negative mutant of TRAF6 in a dose-dependent manner, and IL-1-induced NF-kappaB activation was inhibited by a high level of Act1 expression. Our results suggest that Act1 is involved in IL-1/Toll-mediated signaling through TRAF6. (C) 2002 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published; by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
