"In an effort to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this regulation, the Cui group showed that TLR4 stimulation activates the TRAF2/6 complex, which ubiquitinates NLRC5 on Lys1178 residue, presumably leading to its degradation and release of IKKalpha and IKKbeta to complex with IKKgamma [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] (XREF_FIG) This study also showed that the ubiquitin specific protease 14 (USP14) deubiquitinates NLRC5 to sustain the NLRC5 mediated inhibition of NF-kappaB activation."
"The researchers propose that, after the ubiquitination of NLRC5 at lysine 1178 is catalyzed by TRAF2/6, USP14 specifically removes the polyubiquitin chains from NLRC5 to enhance NLRC5-mediated inhibition of IKK–NF-κB signaling, thus forming a coherent feedforward loop to regulate IKK–NF-κB activation"
