Model detailing the roles of ECSIT in TLR4-mediated signaling. On TLR4 stimulation, ECSIT forms the TAK1/TRAF6 complex, in which TAK1 is activated and ECSIT is simultaneously ubiquitinated on K372 by TRAF6. Activated TAK1 activates the IKKs complex through phosphorylation, leading to IκB-α degradation through phosphorylation and polyubiquitination. The dissociated p65/p50 NF-κB proteins from IκB-α interact with K372-ubiquitinated ECSIT and translocates to the nucleus, leading to the induction of p65/p50-dependent gene expression.
