Abstract excerpt
CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells comprise a unique subset of T cells required for maintaining immune homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanisms associated with the functional variety of Treg cells are not fully delineated. In the present study, we demonstrate that ubiquitin-specific protease (USP)4 physically interacted with interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) function via a K48-linked deubiquitinase,...
