Article Abstract
Forkhead-associated (FHA) domain-containing proteins are widely expressed across eubacteria and in eukaryotes. FHA domains contain phosphopeptide recognition motifs, which operate in a variety of phosphorylation-dependent and -independent biological processes, including the DNA damage response, signal transduction, and regulation of the cell cycle. More recently, two FHA domain-containing proteins were discovered in mammalian cells as tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-interacting proteins: TIFA and TIFAB. TIFA and TIFAB are important modifiers of the innate immune signaling through their regulation of TRAF proteins. Recent studies have also revealed distinct roles for TIFA and TIFAB in the context of immune cell function, chronic inflammation, hematopoiesis, and hematologic disorders. Collectively, these studies indicate the important role of TIFA- and TIFAB-dependent signaling in hematopoietic cells and their dysregulation in several human diseases. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms and biological role of these FHA-domain homologues, placing them into the context of human disease.

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is activated by various inflammatory and infectious molecules and is involved in immune responses. It has been elucidated that ADP-β-D-manno-heptose (ADP-Hep), a metabolite in gram-negative bacteria, activates NF-κB through alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1)-TIFA-TRAF6 signaling. ADP-Hep stimulates the kinase activity of ALPK1 for TIFA phosphorylation.

TRAF-interacting protein with a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain (TIFA), originally identified as an adaptor protein of TRAF6, has recently been shown to be involved in innate immunity, induced by a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). ADP-β-D-manno-heptose, a newly identified PAMP, binds to alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) and activates its kinase activity to phosphorylate TIFA. Phosphorylation triggers TIFA oligomerisation and formation of a subsequent TIFA-TRAF6 oligomeric complex for ubiquitination of TRAF6, eventually leading to NF-κB activation.

TRAF-interacting protein with a forkhead-associated domain B (TIFAB) is implicated in myeloid malignancies with deletion of chromosome 5q. Employing a combination of proteomic and genetic approaches, we find that TIFAB regulates ubiquitin-specific peptidase 15 (USP15) ubiquitin hydrolase activity. Expression of TIFAB in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) permits USP15 signaling to substrates, including MDM2 and KEAP1, and mitigates p53 expression.

Human tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor (TRAF)-interacting protein, with a forkhead-associated domain (TIFA), is a key regulator of NF-κB activation. It also plays a key role in the activation of innate immunity in response to bacterial infection, through heptose 1,7-bisphosphate (HBP); a metabolite of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, the mechanism of TIFA function is largely unexplored, except for the suggestion of interaction with TRAF6.
