Activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) results in a proinflammatory response needed to combat infection. Thus, limiting TLR signaling is essential for preventing a protective response from causing injury to the host. Here we describe how a RING finger protein, Triad3A, acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase and enhances ubiquitination and proteolytic degradation of some TLRs. Triad3A overexpression promoted substantial degradation of TLR4 and TLR9 with a concomitant decrease in signaling, but… CONTINUE READING
