TRAF2-GSTP1 complex

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

A protein complex comprising tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) and glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1). This complex is thought to disrupt the TNF signaling cascade, thus down-regulating inflammatory responses. [GOC:BHF, PMID:16636664]

The TRAF2-GSTP1 complex is a cellular signaling complex that plays a role in regulating cell survival and apoptosis. The complex is formed by the interaction of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) protein with the glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1) protein. TRAF2 is an adaptor protein that mediates the downstream signaling of various receptors, including TNF receptors and members of the Toll-like receptor family. GSTP1 is a detoxification enzyme that plays a role in the detoxification of reactive oxygen species. The cellular component of the TRAF2-GSTP1 complex is likely to be a multiprotein complex that includes both TRAF2 and GSTP1, as well as other signaling proteins that interact with TRAF2. The complex is likely to be localized to the cytoplasm, where TRAF2 and GSTP1 are known to be present. The exact composition and localization of the TRAF2-GSTP1 complex are still being investigated. However, the complex is likely to be a critical component of the cellular signaling network that regulates cell survival and apoptosis.'

CompoundDefinitionClassesRoles
ethacrynic acidetacrynic acid : An aromatic ether that is phenoxyacetic acid in which the phenyl ring is substituted by chlorines at positions 2 and 3, and by a 2-methylidenebutanoyl group at position 4. It is a loop diuretic used to treat high blood pressure resulting from diseases such as congestive heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure. It is also a glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) inhibitor.

Ethacrynic Acid: A compound that inhibits symport of sodium, potassium, and chloride primarily in the ascending limb of Henle, but also in the proximal and distal tubules. This pharmacological action results in excretion of these ions, increased urinary output, and reduction in extracellular fluid. This compound has been classified as a loop or high ceiling diuretic.		aromatic ether;

d-alpha tocopherol(R,R,R)-alpha-tocopherol : An alpha-tocopherol that has R,R,R configuration. The naturally occurring stereoisomer of alpha-tocopherol, it is found particularly in sunflower and olive oils.

tocopherol : A collective name for a group of closely related lipids that contain a chroman-6-ol nucleus substituted at position 2 by a methyl group and by a saturated hydrocarbon chain consisting of three isoprenoid units. They are designated as alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol depending on the number and position of additional methyl substituents on the aromatic ring. Tocopherols occur in vegetable oils and vegetable oil products, almost exclusively with R,R,R configuration. Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols only in having three double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain.

vitamin E : Any member of a group of fat-soluble chromanols that exhibit biological activity against vitamin E deficiency. The vitamers in this class consists of a chroman-6-ol core which is substituted at position 2 by a methyl group and (also at position 2) either a saturated or a triply-unsaturated hydrocarbon chain consisting of three isoprenoid units. The major function of vitamin E is to act as a natural antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and molecular oxygen.

Vitamin E: A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.		alpha-tocopherolalgal metabolite;

Curcumin: A yellow-orange dye obtained from tumeric, the powdered root of CURCUMA longa. It is used in the preparation of curcuma paper and the detection of boron. Curcumin appears to possess a spectrum of pharmacological properties, due primarily to its inhibitory effects on metabolic enzymes.		aromatic ether;
