B Activation
By

From the * Howard Hughes Medical Institute, New York 10021; and Through their interaction with the TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) family, members
of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily elicit a wide range of biological effects including differentiation, proliferation, activation, or cell death. We have identified and
characterized a novel component of the receptor-TRAF signaling complex, designated TRIP
(TRAF-interacting protein), which contains a RING finger motif and an extended coiled-coil domain. TRIP associates with the TNFR2 or CD30 signaling complex through its interaction
with TRAF proteins. When associated, TRIP inhibits the TRAF2-mediated NF-

that is required for cell activation and also for protection against apoptosis. Thus, TRIP acts as a
receptor-proximal regulator that may influence signals responsible for cell activation/proliferation
and cell death induced by members of the TNFR superfamily.
