In some inflammatory diseases, TNF-
is thought to stimulate muscle catabolism via an NF-
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-
stimulates UbcH2 expression in mouse limb muscles in vivo and in cultured myotubes. The UbcH2 promoter region contains a functional NF-
B binding site; NF-
B binding to this sequence is increased by TNF-
stimulation. A dominant negative inhibitor of NF-
B activation blocks both UbcH2 up-regulation and the increase in ubiquitin-conjugating activity stimulated by TNF-
. In extracts from TNF-
-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-
/NF-
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-
