Abstract excerpt
The cylindromatosis tumor suppressor gene (Cyld) encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme (CYLD) with immunoregulatory function. In this study, we evaluated the role of Cyld in T cell ontogeny by generating a mouse (Cyld(Delta9)) with a thymocyte-restricted Cyld mutation that causes a C-terminal truncation of the protein and reciprocates catalytically inactive human mutations. Mutant mice had dramatically reduced single...
