Description:
T-helper type 17 (TH17) cells that produce the cytokines interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and IL-17F are implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases. The differentiation of TH17 cells is regulated by transcription factors such as RORgammat, but post-translational mechanisms preventing the rampant production of pro-inflammatory IL-17A have received less attention. Here we show that the deubiquitylating enzyme DUBA is a negative regulator of IL-17A production in T cells. Mice with DUBA-deficient T cells developed exacerbated inflammation in the small intestine after challenge with anti-CD3 antibodies. DUBA interacted with the ubiquitin ligase UBR5, which suppressed DUBA abundance in naive T cells. DUBA accumulated in activated T cells and stabilized UBR5, which then ubiquitylated RORgammat in response to TGF-beta signalling. Our data identify DUBA as a cell-intrinsic suppressor of IL-17 production.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rutz, Sascha -- Kayagaki, Nobuhiko -- Phung, Qui T -- Eidenschenk, Celine -- Noubade, Rajkumar -- Wang, Xiaoting -- Lesch, Justin -- Lu, Rongze -- Newton, Kim -- Huang, Oscar W -- Cochran, Andrea G -- Vasser, Mark -- Fauber, Benjamin P -- DeVoss, Jason -- Webster, Joshua -- Diehl, Lauri -- Modrusan, Zora -- Kirkpatrick, Donald S -- Lill, Jennie R -- Ouyang, Wenjun -- Dixit, Vishva M -- England -- Nature. 2015 Feb 19;518(7539):417-21. doi: 10.1038/nature13979.
