Title: TNF signaling: early events and phosphorylation
Author: R. Ihnatko and M. Kubes

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) is a major mediator of apoptosis as well as immunity and inflammation. Inappropriate production of TNF or sustained activation of TNF signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of human diseases, including cancer, osteoporosis, sepsis, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. TNF binds to two specific receptors, TNF-receptor type I (TNF-R1, CD120a, p55/60) and TNF-receptor type II (TNF-R2, CD120b, p75/80). Signaling through TNF-R1 is extremely complex, leading to both cell death and survival signals. Many findings suggest an important role of phosphorylation of the TNF-R1 by number of protein kinases. Role of TNF-R2 phosphorylation on its signaling properties is understood less than TNF-R1. Other cellular substrates as TRADD adaptor protein, TRAF protein family and RIP kinases are reviewed in relation to TNF receptor-mediated apoptosis or survival pathways and regulation of their actions by phosphorylation.
