NLRP11 attenuates Toll-like receptor signalling by targeting TRAF6 for degradation via the ubiquitin ligase RNF19A
Abstract
NLRP11 is a primate-specific NOD-like receptor with unclear function. Here the authors show NLRP11 is an inhibitory protein that targets TRAF6 for K48 ubiquitination-mediated proteasomal degradation to limit inflammatory responses.
