An Integrated Strategy for Identifying Targets of Ubiquitin-Mediated Degradation in CD4+ T Cells.

ABSTRACT

Ubiquitination is a crucial component of many immune processes. While ubiquitin-mediated degradation is essential to T cell activation via T cell receptor signaling, the specific E3 ligases and substrates involved are not well-understood. Here, we describe a strategy integrating RNA, protein, and posttranslational modification datasets to identify targets of ubiquitin-mediated degradation. When integrated, these assays can provide broad insight into how this posttranslational modification regulates protein function and influences T cell biology.
