The ubiquitin E3 ligase TRIM21 suppresses type I interferon signaling via STING degradation and ameliorates systemic autoimmunity
3 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) is a cytoplasmic protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Although autoantibodies against TRIM21 are frequently detected in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), its role in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that TRIM21 directly interacts with the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) to regulate type I interferon (IFN) production. In...
