CC2D1A is an evolutionarily conserved protein that contains four DM14 domains at the N terminus and a C2 domain at the C terminus. Loss-of-function mutations in CC2D1A have been linked to mental retardation in human, but the biochemical function of this protein is largely unknown. Here, we show that CC2D1A is a potent activator of NF-kappaB. The activation of NF-kappaB by CC2D1A requires its C2 domain. CC2D1A activates NF-kappaB in a manner that depends on the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc13, ...[more]
