Chromatin regulates IL-33 release and extracellular cytokine activity

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) can be released as a cytokine or transported into the nucleus, but the significance of this nuclear shuttling is not fully understood. Here the authors show that chromatin-binding of IL-33 alters, unexpectedly, the activity of IL-33 both in alarmin release kinetics and recepto...

Description
Summary:Interleukin-33 (IL-33) can be released as a cytokine or transported into the nucleus, but the significance of this nuclear shuttling is not fully understood. Here the authors show that chromatin-binding of IL-33 alters, unexpectedly, the activity of IL-33 both in alarmin release kinetics and receptor signaling capacity.
