SUMOylation attenuates human β-arrestin 2 inhibition of IL-1R/TRAF6 signaling.

β-Arrestin 2 as an adaptor plays a role in the regulation of receptor desensitization, trafficking, and signaling. Bovine β-arrestin 2 has been shown to be SUMOylated on the lysine 400 residue, which links it to the endocytosis of the β2-adrenergic receptor. Here we identify a major SUMOylation site, lysine 295, ...
on human β-arrestin 2. SUMOylation on this site attenuates β-arrestin 2 binding to TRAF6, then enhances TRAF6 oligomerization and autoubiquitination, and consequently leads to the increase of TRAF6-mediated NF-κB/AP-1 activation. We further determine SENP1 as a specific de-SUMOylation protease that can reverse the SUMOylation of β-arrestin 2-mediated processes. Our study reveals SUMOylation as a novel mechanism in the regulation of β-arrestin 2-mediated IL-1R/TRAF6 signaling.
