The Tumor Suppressor CYLD Interacts with TRIP and Regulates Negatively Nuclear Factor κB Activation by Tumor Necrosis Factor

Abstract excerpt

Cylindromas are benign adnexal skin tumors caused by germline mutations in the CYLD gene. In most cases the second wild-type allele is lost in tumor tissue, suggesting that CYLD functions as tumor suppressor. CYLD is a protein of 956 amino acids harboring a functional deubiquitinating domain at the COOH-terminal end. To shed more light on the function of CYLD, we have performed a yeast two hybrid screen using an...
