Abstract: Abstract The TRIpartite Motif (TRIM) family of RING-domain-containing proteins participate in a variety of cellular functions. The β-transducin repeat-containing protein (β-TrCP), a component of the Skp–Cullin–F-box-containing (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, recognizes the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα and precursor p100 for proteasomal degradation and processing, respectively. β-TrCP thus plays a critical role in both canonical and non-canonical NF-κB activation. Here we report that TRIM9 is a negative regulator of NF-κB activation. Interaction between the phosphorylated degron motif of TRIM9 and the WD40 repeat region of β-TrCP prevented β-TrCP from binding its substrates, stabilizing IκBα and p100 and thereby blocking NF-κB activation. Consequently, expression or depletion of the TRIM9 gene significantly affected NF-κB-induced inflammatory cytokine production. This study not only elucidates a mechanism for TRIM9-mediated regulation of the β-TrCP SCF complex activity but also identifies TRIM9 as a brain-specific negative regulator of the NF-κB pro-inflammatory signalling pathway.
