Summary: Predicted to enable signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; gastrulation; and imaginal disc fusion, thorax closure. Located in apical cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; ganglia; head epidermis primordium; mesoderm; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Orthologous to human TRAF4 (TNF receptor associated factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Rbf1-induced apoptosis activates a compensatory proliferation mechanism which also depends on Slipper and TRAF1, indicating that these two proteins seem to be key players of compensatory proliferation in Drosophila.
Title: Two different specific JNK activators are required to trigger apoptosis or compensatory proliferation in response to Rbf1 in Drosophila.
Traf4 is expressed throughout development, and is required for efficient apical constrictions of ventral furrow cells.
Title: Role for Traf4 in polarizing adherens junctions as a prerequisite for efficient cell shape changes.
Expression of Reaper leads to a loss of DIAP1 inhibition of DTRAF1-mediated JNK activation in Drosophila cells.
Title: Reaper-mediated inhibition of DIAP1-induced DTRAF1 degradation results in activation of JNK in Drosophila.
DTRAF1-null mutant showed a remarkable reduction in JNK activity with an impaired development of imaginal discs and a defective formation of photosensory neuron arrays.
Title: Discrete functions of TRAF1 and TRAF2 in Drosophila melanogaster mediated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase and NF-kappaB-dependent signaling pathways.
