TRAF -interacting protein with FHA domain (TIFA) was first reported by M. Kanamori et al. to activate NF-κB, and it was recently shown to be a key player in the NF-κB-driven innate immunity. In this seminar I will discuss our recent reports on the mechanism and structural basis for the function of TIFA in the activation of NF-κB, as well as unpublished results suggesting that TIFA functionally mediates the Aurora A-driven NF-κB survival pathway in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and that TIFA mediates innate immune response through assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome.
