Description

TRAFD1 (TRAF-type zinc finger domain containing 1) encodes a protein that functions as a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor (TLR) and RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling pathways. It interacts with TRAF proteins and inhibits NF-kappaB and IRF activation, thereby modulating innate immune responses and interferon production.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Systemic lupus erythematosus Dysregulation of TRAFD1 expression may alter TLR signaling and interferon production, contributing to autoimmune pathology. PMID: 25605274
Influenza A infection TRAFD1 restricts influenza A virus replication by inhibiting RIG-I signaling. PMID: 21957124
Breast cancer Altered TRAFD1 expression correlates with poor prognosis; potential role in tumor immune evasion. PMID: 30397376

Protein Summary

TRAFD1 is a 541-amino acid protein containing a TRAF-type zinc finger domain and a C-terminal coiled-coil region. It localizes to the cytoplasm and acts as a negative feedback regulator of innate immune signaling by interacting with TRAF3 and TRAF6, leading to inhibition of IRF3 and NF-kappaB activation. The protein also modulates antiviral responses and is implicated in autoimmune and neoplastic processes.
