Biochemical and genetic studies have revealed that the presenilins interact with several proteins and are involved in the regulated intramembrane proteolysis of numerous type 1 membrane proteins, thereby linking presenilins to a range of cellular processes. In this study, we report the characterization of a highly conserved tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-6 (TRAF6) consensus-binding site within the hydrophilic loop domain of presenilin-1 (PS-1). In coimmunoprecipitation studies we indicate that presenilin-1 interacts with TRAF6 and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 2. Substitution of presenilin-1 residues Pro-374 and Glu-376 by site-directed mutagenesis greatly reduces the ability of PS1 to associate with TRAF6. By studying these interactions, we also demonstrate that the interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) undergoes intramembrane proteolytic processing, mediated by presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase activity. A metalloprotease-dependent proteolytic event liberates soluble IL-1R1 ectodomain and produces an approximately 32-kDa C-terminal domain. This IL-1R1 C-terminal domain is a substrate for subsequent gamma-secretase cleavage, which generates an approximately 26-kDa intracellular domain. Specific pharmacological gamma-secretase inhibitors, expression of dominant negative presenilin-1, or presenilin deficiency independently inhibit generation of the IL-1R1 intracellular domain. Attenuation of gamma-secretase activity also impairs responsiveness to IL-1beta-stimulated activation of the MAPKs and cytokine secretion. Thus, TRAF6 and interleukin receptor-associated kinase 2 are novel binding partners for PS1, and IL-1R1 is a new substrate for presenilin-dependent gamma-secretase cleavage. These findings also suggest that regulated intramembrane proteolysis may be a control mechanism for IL-1R1-mediated signaling.
