Mammalian Casein Kinase 1α and Its Leishmanial Ortholog Regulate Stability of IFNAR1 and Type I Interferon Signaling
6 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of the degron of the IFNAR1 chain of the type I interferon (IFN) receptor triggers ubiquitination and degradation of this receptor and, therefore, plays a crucial role in negative regulation of IFN-alpha/beta signaling. Besides the IFN-stimulated and Jak activity-dependent pathways, a basal ligand-independent phosphorylation of IFNAR1 has been described and implicated in downregulating IFNAR1 in...
