Outline of Final Research Achievements |
LUBAC is involved in TNF-alpha mediated NF-kappaB activation via generating linear polyubiquitin chains. We discovered that LUBAC is also involved in the protection of TNF-alpha-mediated cell death in NF-kappaB independent manner. To elucidate the mechanisms, I prepared LUBAC knockout cells and reconstituted the several LUBAC mutants into cells to analyze whose domains are involved in cell death protection. Finally, we found a domain of LUBAC which participates in cell death regulation and explored proteins which bind to newly discovered domain by Mass spectrometry.
