The E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino2 mediates priming of the NLRP3 inflammasome

The NLRP3 inflammasome is important for inducing IL-1β and IL-18 inflammatory responses. Here the authors show, by generating and characterizing Peli2 deficient mice and immune cells, that an E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino2 promotes inflammasome priming by inducing NLRP3 ubiquitination and by targeting...
