The MALT1 (Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) paracaspase couples antigen receptors on lymphocytes to downstream signaling events. Activation of MALT1 is known to involve stimulus-dependent CBM complex formation, that is, the recruitment of BCL10-bound MALT1 to a CARD-Coiled Coil protein. Beyond this canonical, CBM-dependent mechanism of MALT1 activation, recent studies suggest that MALT1 protease activity may be triggered by alternative mechanisms. For instance, the E3-ligase TRAF6 can activate MALT1 proteolytic function and induce MALT1 auto-cleavage. However, the interplay between CBM and TRAF6 with regard to MALT1 activation has remained incompletely elucidated. Here, by generating CRISPR/Cas9-derived knock-out Jurkat T-cells, we show that TRAF6 was dispensable for CARD11/BCL10-dependent MALT1 activation upon T-cell stimulation. However, ectopically-expressed TRAF6 could induce MALT1 activity in Jurkat T-cells devoid of either CARD11 or BCL10. These data provide unequivocal evidence that TRAF6-mediated MALT1 activation does not require the upstream scaffold CARD11 or the interaction between MALT1 and BCL10. Thus, TRAF6 may be part of a previously unidentified non-canonical pathway that triggers MALT1 protease activity independently of canonical CBM signalosomes. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
