Alternative splicing of CARD14/CARMA2 generates two isoforms: CARMA2short (CARMA2sh, containing CARD, coiled-coil, and PDZ domains) and CARMA2cardless (lacking CARD domain). CARMA2sh localizes to the cytosol, interacts with TRAF2, activates NF-κB in a TRAF2-dependent manner, and protects cells from apoptosis. |

Psoriasis-associated CARD14 mutations (E138A and G117S) disrupt autoinhibition by the CARD14 linker region, causing constitutive interaction with BCL10 and MALT1, BCL10- and MALT1-dependent NF-κB activation in keratinocytes, MALT1 paracaspase activity stimulation, and ERK1/2 and p38α MAP kinase activation. MALT1 inhibition with mepazine reduces mutant CARD14-induced psoriasis-associated transcripts. |

CARD14 physically interacts with the paracaspase MALT1 and activates MALT1 proteolytic activity. CARD14 also activates p38 and JNK MAP kinase pathways in addition to NF-κB, all dependent on MALT1. Psoriasis-associated CARD14 mutations enhance MALT1 proteolytic activity and inflammatory gene expression. MALT1 deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of MALT1 catalytic activity inhibits mutant CARD14-induced cytokine/chemokine expression in primary human keratinocytes. |

Card14 gain-of-function mutations (E138A and ΔQ136) in mice cause spontaneous psoriasis-like skin inflammation through constitutively activated CARMA2 self-aggregation, leading to enhanced IL-23–IL-17A cytokine axis activation. CARMA2 associates with the ACT1-TRAF6 signaling complex and mediates IL-17A-induced NF-κB and MAPK signaling in keratinocytes, driving pro-inflammatory gene expression. Card14-/- mice show attenuated imiquimod-induced skin inflammation due to impaired IL-17A signaling. |

Heterozygous Card14ΔE138 gain-of-function mutation in mice is sufficient to spontaneously drive psoriatic skin disease via the IL-23/IL-17 axis. Neutralization of IL-23p19 significantly reduces skin lesions and proinflammatory cytokine expression, establishing IL-23 as a key downstream mediator of CARD14-driven inflammation. |

CARMA2sh forms a complex with TANK and MALT1 in keratinocytes. Both CARMA2sh and TANK are individually required for NF-κB activation following TLR3 stimulation (poly I:C). TANK is essential for TBK1/IRF3 pathway activation after poly I:C stimulation, whereas CARMA2sh functions as a repressor of this pathway. Psoriasis-associated CARMA2sh mutants bind TANK less efficiently and are less effective at suppressing the TBK1/IRF3 pathway. |

CARD14E138A associates with BCL10, MALT1, M1-ubiquitin E3 ligase HOIP, and K63-ubiquitin E3 ligase TRAF6; HOIP and TRAF6 interactions promote BCL10 ubiquitination and are essential for NF-κB and MAP kinase activation. Ubiquitin-binding proteins A20 and ABIN1 negatively regulate signaling by inducing CARD14E138A turnover. CARD14E138A localizes to early endosomes via association with the AP2 adaptor complex, and AP2 function is required for CARD14E138A activation of mTORC1, which stimulates keratinocyte metabolism and proliferation. Rapamycin (mTORC1 inhibitor) reduces CARD14E138A-induced keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal acanthosis in mice. |

PLK1 (polo-like kinase 1) is a novel CARD14-binding protein identified by unbiased AP-MS. CARD14-PLK1 binding is independent of the CARD domain but involves a phospho-dependent PLK1-binding motif in the CARD14 linker region. Expression of CARD14E138A recruits PLK1 to CARD14-containing signalosomes in interphase keratinocytes. Disruption of the PLK1-binding motif in CARD14E138A increases CARD14-induced proinflammatory signaling and gene expression, indicating PLK1 is a negative regulator of CARD14 signaling. |

CARD14 is essential for murine experimental psoriasis (imiquimod and IL-23 models): Card14-/- mice show abrogated psoriasiform skin inflammation. Bone marrow chimera studies indicate CARD14 in radio-sensitive hematopoietic cells is required for IMQ-induced disease, controlling Vγ4+ T cells producing IL-17/IL-22 in the dermis/epidermis. CARD14 acts downstream of IL-23, not TLR7/TLR9. |
