The Ube2m-Rbx1 neddylation-Cullin-RING-Ligase proteins are essential for the maintenance of Regulatory T cell fitness

Absence of regulatory T cells results in a severe inflammatory disease which leads to death in infancy in both human patients and in mouse models. Authors show here that in mice, conditional deletion of Rbx1, the RING component of Cullin-RING ligases in regulatory T cells causes a similar phenotype,...

Description
Summary:Absence of regulatory T cells results in a severe inflammatory disease which leads to death in infancy in both human patients and in mouse models. Authors show here that in mice, conditional deletion of Rbx1, the RING component of Cullin-RING ligases in regulatory T cells causes a similar phenotype, due to the disrupted degradation of important regulatory proteins.
