Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 14 (MAP3K14 also named as NIK) is a central signalling component of the non-canonical pathway which integrates signals from TNFR2 and activates IkB kinase-alpha (IkBA) for triggering p100 phosphorylation and processing (Sun 2011). A tight control of NIK stability is essential to achieve controlled activation of the noncanonical NF-kB signalling upon TNFR2 activation. In unstimulated cells the level of NIK protein is extremely low, which is due to constant degradation by a ubiquitination-dependent mechanism (Liao et al. 2004). Proteasomal degradation of NIK occurs on assembly of a regulatory complex through TRAF3 complexed with NIK and TRAF2 which exists in a preassembled complex with cellular Inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) and cIAP2 (cIAP1,2:TRAF2::TRAF3:NIK). The c-IAPs do not directly contact TNFR2, but rather associate with TRAF2 through their N-terminal BIR motif-comprising domain (Rothe et al. 1995, Shu et al. 1996). TRAF3 functions as a bridging factor between cIAP1/2-TRAF2 E3 complex and NIK enabling cIAP to mediate K48 linked ubiquitination of NIK (Zarnegar et al. 2008, Vallabhapurapu et al. 2008, Li et al. 2004).
