Regulation of T cell receptor complex-mediated signaling by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Post-translational protein modifications are a dynamic method of regulating protein function in response to environmental signals. As with any cellular process, T cell receptor (TCR) complex-mediated signaling is highly regulated, since the strength and duration of TCR-generated signals governs T cell development and activation. While regulation of TCR complex-mediated signaling by phosphorylation has been well studied, regulation by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers is still an emerging area of investigation. This review will examine how ubiquitin, E3 ubiquitin ligases, and other ubiquitin-like modifications such as SUMO and NEDD8 regulate TCR complex-mediated signaling.

متن کاملLinking the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to chromatin remodeling/modification by nuclear receptors.
Over 25 years ago, eukaryotic cells were shown to contain a highly specific system for the selective degradation of short-lived proteins, this system is known as the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In this pathway, proteins are targeted for degradation by covalent modification by a small highly conserved protein named ubiquitin. Ubiquitin-mediated degradation of regulatory proteins plays an impor...
