Summary
TNFAIP3 restricts TLR signals by restricting ubiquitination of TRAF6 and restricts MyD88-independent TLR signals by inhibiting Toll/interleukin 1 receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon (IFN) beta (TICAM1)-dependent nuclear factor kappaB signals but not IFN response factor 3 signalling.
TNFAIP3 restricts NOD2 triggered signals by deubiquitinating RIPK2.
TNFAIP3 negatively regulates the RIG-I antiviral state by blocking IRF- and NF-kappaB-mediated gene expression.
TNFAIP3 negatively regulates BCL10- and CARMA3-mediated activation of NF-kappaB by means of its deubiquitylation activity and preventing assembly of the complex containing CARMA3, BCL10 and IKBKG (NEMO).
TNFAIP3 removes lysine-63 linked ubiquitin chains from RIPK1 and polyubiquitinates RIPK1 with K48-linked ubiquitin chains, targeting it for proteosomal degradation, and hence down-regulating NF-kappaB signalling pathway.
TNFAIP3 is phosphorylated by IKBKB and this increases the ability of TNFAIP3 to inhibit the NF-kappaB signalling pathway.
TNFAIP3 is an early NF-kappaB-responsive gene that encodes a ubiquitin-editing protein that is involved in the negative feedback regulation of NF-kappaB signalling and thus is a central gatekeeper in inflammation and immunity.
TNFAIP3 (A20) and TAX1BP1 inhibit antiviral signaling by targeting TBK1/IKKi kinases and disrupting a TRAF3-TBK1-IKKi signalling complex.
TNFAIP3 and TRAF6 differentially regulate TLR4-induced autophagy during inflammatory responses by modulating K63-linked ubiquitination of BECN1 (Beclin 1).
TNFAIP3 is a deubiquitinase that counteracts E3 ligases and therefore play a prominent role in the down-regulation of NF-κB signalling and homeostasis.
TNFAIP3 expression and TNFAIP3-IRAK1interaction are important for endotoxin tolerance. TNFAIP3 over-expression inhibits LPS-induced activation of NFKB, and is mechanistically linked to endotoxin tolerance through the reprogramming of TLR4 signalling.
TNFAIP3 promotes intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and inhibits LPS-induced loss of the tight junction protein occludin. (Demonstrated in mice)
Haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20) is caused by high-penetrance loss-of-function germline mutations in TNFAIP3 with increased degradation of NFKBIA, nuclear translocation of RELA, increased expression of NFκB mediated proinflammatory cytokines, and defective deubiquitinating activity.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Tnfaip3 expression and Tnfaip3-Irak1interaction are important for endotoxin tolerance. Tnfaip3 overexpression inhibits LPS-induced activation of NFKB, and is mechanistically linked to endotoxin tolerance through the reprogramming of Tlr4 signaling.
[Mus musculus] Tnfaip3 promotes intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and inhibits LPS-induced loss of the tight junction protein occludin.
[Mus musculus] Tnfaip3 is regulated by both Nf-κB and p38-dependent Cebpb in response to LPS in macrophages.
[Mus musculus] Mirlet7f and its target Tnfaip3 regulate immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and control bacterial burden by augmenting the production of Tnf and Il1b.
[Mus musculus] Sqstm1 captures Tnfaip3, an NFkB inhibitor, and sequesters it in the autophagosome. This allows macrophages to release chemokines that recruit neutrophils and boost antifungal immunity.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene was identified as a gene whose expression is rapidly induced by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein and ubiqitin-editing enzyme, and has been shown to inhibit NF-kappa B activation as well as TNF-mediated apoptosis. The encoded protein, which has both ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitinase activities, is involved in the cytokine-mediated immune and inflammatory responses. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
