In some inflammatory diseases, TNF-{alpha} is thought to stimulate muscle catabolism via an NF-{kappa}B-dependent process that increases ubiquitin conjugation to muscle proteins. The transcriptional mechanism of this response has not been determined. Here we studied the potential role of UbcH2, a ubiquitin carrier protein and homologue of murine E220k. We find that UbcH2 is constitutively expressed by human skeletal and cardiac muscles, murine limb muscle, and cultured myotubes. TNF-{alpha} stimulates UbcH2 expression in mouse limb muscles in vivo and in cultured myotubes. The UbcH2 promoter region contains a functional NF-{kappa}B binding site; NF-{kappa}B binding to this sequence is increased by TNF-{alpha} stimulation. A dominant negative inhibitor of NF-{kappa}B activation blocks both UbcH2 up-regulation and the increase in ubiquitin-conjugating activity stimulated by TNF-{alpha}. In extracts from TNF-{alpha}-treated myotubes, ubiquitin-conjugating activity is limited by UbcH2 availability; activity is inhibited by an antiserum to UbcH2 or a dominant negative mutant of UbcH2 and is enhanced by wild-type UbcH2. Thus, UbcH2 up-regulation is a novel response to TNF-{alpha}/NF-{kappa}B signaling in skeletal muscle that appears to be essential for the increased ubiquitin conjugation induced by this cytokine.—Li, Y.-P., Lecker, S. H., Chen, Y., Waddell, I. D., Goldberg, A. L., Reid, M. B. TNF-{alpha} increases ubiquitin-conjugating activity in skeletal muscle by up-regulating UbcH2/E220k.
