USP19 Inhibits TNF-?- and IL-1?-Triggered NF-?B Activation by Deubiquitinating TAK1.

The dynamic regulations of ubiquitination and deubiquitination play important roles in TGF-?-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)-mediated NF-?B activation, which regulates various physiological and pathological events. We identified ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)19 as a negative regulator of TNF-?- and IL-1?-triggered NF-?B activation by deubiquitinating TAK1. Overexpression of USP19 but not its enzymatic inactive ...
mutant inhibited TNF-?- and IL-1?-triggered NF-?B activation and transcription of downstream genes, whereas USP19 deficiency had the opposite effects. Usp19-/- mice produced higher levels of inflammatory cytokines and were more susceptible to TNF-?- and IL-1?-triggered septicemia death compared with their wild-type littermates. Mechanistically, USP19 interacted with TAK1 in a TNF-?- or IL-1?-dependent manner and specifically deconjugated K63- and K27-linked polyubiquitin chains from TAK1, leading to the impairment of TAK1 activity and the disruption of the TAK1-TAB2/3 complex. Our findings provide new insights to the complicated molecular mechanisms of the attenuation of the inflammatory response.
