How can you use “traf” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Based on the phenotype of knockout mice, it has become clear that TRAF6 is the critical adapter molecule required for RANK signaling during osteoclastogenesis [ 35 ] . The importance of TRAF6 has been further explored in deletion studies, which correlated its various domains with its osteoclastogenic potential [ 46 ] . A link between IFN-γ and RANK signaling via TRAF6 has also been demonstrated in bone marrow cultures, in which IFN-γ was shown to accelerate the degradation of TRAF6 [ 38 ] . In our studies, however, we failed to observe this TRAF6 degradation, as its expression remained constant in both short-term and long-term cultures under conditions where IFN-γ completely inhibited osteoclastogenesis.
Intergenic distances range from less than 1 Kb (KIAA0319 and TRAF) to 110 Kb (HNRPA1 and P24).
The Toll-like receptor family [ 49], which has evolutionary roots throughout invertebrate metazoans for pattern-based recognition of bacterial and fungal cell-surface components [ 50], activate NFκB through convergent pathways involving the IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK), the adaptor protein MyD88, TRAF6, NFκB-inducing kinase (NIK), and IκB kinase (Iκk) [ 51].
These effects were irreversible and not caused by inhibition of proximal signaling at the level of STAT1 or TRAF6, suggesting that resistance to IFN-γ is caused by a complex differentiation program specifying the osteoclast fate.
These results show that late pre-osteoclasts are capable of signaling via JAK-STAT1, and suggest that signaling events distal to TRAF6 and STAT1 modulate the resistance of these cells to IFN-γ.
