Roles of ubiquitination in pattern-recognition receptors and type I interferon receptor signaling

Annie Bibeau-Poirier et al. Cytokine. 2008 Sep.

Abstract

Post-translational protein modifications are involved in all functions of living cells. This includes the ability of cells to recognize pathogens and regulate genes involved in their clearance, a concept known as innate immunity. While phosphorylation mechanisms play essential roles in regulating different aspects of the innate immune response, ubiquitination is now recognized as another post-translational modification that works in parallel with phosphorylation to orchestrate the final proper innate immune response against invading pathogens. More precisely, this review will discuss the most recent advances that address the role of ubiquitination in pattern-recognition receptors and type I interferon receptor signaling.
