CD40, a member of tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, has a pivotal role in B-cell-mediated immunity through various effector pathways including AKT kinase, but the signal transduction of CD40-meidated AKT activation is poorly understood. Here we report that the neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated protein 4 (NEDD4), homologous to E6-AP Carboxyl Terminus family E3 ubiquitin ligase, is a novel component of the CD40 signalling complex. It has a key role in CD40-mediated AKT activation and is involved in modulating immunoglobulin class switch through regulating the expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase. NEDD4 constitutively interacts with CD40 and mediates K63-linked ubiquitination of TNFR-associated factor3 (TRAF3). The ubiquitination of TRAF3 by NEDD4 is critical for CD40-mediated AKT activation. Thus, NEDD4 is a previously unknown component of the CD40 signalling complex necessary for AKT activation.
