Caspase-2 has been shown to initiate apoptotic cell death in response to specific
intracellular stressors such as DNA damage. However, the molecular mechanisms
immediately upstream of its activation are still poorly understood. We combined a
caspase-2 bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) system with
fluorophore-specific immunoprecipitation to isolate and study the active
caspase-2 dimer and its interactome. Using this technique, we found that tumor
necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2), as well as TRAF1 and 3,
directly binds to the active caspase-2 dimer. TRAF2 in particular is necessary
for caspase-2 activation in response to apoptotic cell death stimuli.
Furthermore, we found that dimerized caspase-2 is ubiquitylated in a
TRAF2-dependent manner at K15, K152, and K153, which in turn stabilizes the
active caspase-2 dimer complex, promotes its association with an insoluble
cellular fraction, and enhances its activity to fully commit the cell to
apoptosis. Together, these data indicate that TRAF2 positively regulates
caspase-2 activation and consequent cell death by driving its activation through
dimer-stabilizing ubiquitylation.
