These E3 ligases, including Cbl-b, Itch, and GRAIL, attenuate T cell activation by targeting to signaling molecules such as PKCθ and PLCγ1 for degradetion. How these anergy-associated E3 ligases coordinate during T cell anergy remains incompletely understood. In this study, we found that Notch-related E3 ligase deltex1 (DTX1) also regulated the expression of PKCθ and PLCγ1. DTX1 interacted with PKCθ and PLCγ1 and promoted the degradation of PKCθ and PLCγ1. T cell anergy-induced downregulation of PKCθ was prevented in Dtx1-/- T cells, supporting the essential role of DTX1 in PKCθ downregulation. DTX1 promoted monoubiquitination of PKCθ, similar to Cbl-b and Itch. DTX1-directed PKCθ degradation was not prevented by proteasome inhibitor, but instead DTX1 directed the re-localization of PKCθ into the lysosomal pathway. In addition, DTX1 interacted with Cbl-b and increased the protein levels of Cbl-b. We further demonstrated that, through the downregulation of PKCθ, DTX1 prevented PKCθ-induced Cbl-b degradation and increased Cbl-b protein stability. Our results illustrate the coordination between E3 ligases during T cell anergy; DTX1-mediated PKCθ degradation further stabilizes Cbl-b and DTX1 acts with Cbl-b to assure a more completely silencing of PKCθ.7353927 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間: 2018/3/12論文使用權限: 同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)T細胞去活化E3泛素連接?AnergyE3 ubiquitin ligasedeltex1PKCθthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/273106/1/ntu-103-D97449003-1.pdf
