Role of Ubiquitin Signaling in Modulating Dendritic Cell Function

Abstract

As a professional antigen-presenting cell, dendritic cell (DC) plays an essential role in the connection of innate and adaptive immune responses. Ubiquitination is a post-translational mechanism of protein modification that plays a pivotal role in regulating DC maturation and function. To date, considerable progress has been made in understanding the underlying mechanisms of ubiquitination in modulating the function of DC in various diseases. Recent studies have emphasized that ubiquitin signaling in DCs plays crucial roles in regulating immune tolerance and functions, which can be promising targets for DC-based immunotherapy. In this chapter, we will focus on discussing the recent progress regarding the molecular mechanisms and functions of ubiquitination in DC-mediated immune homeostasis and responses.

Keywords: Dendritic cells; Immune responses; Post-translational modification; Ubiquitination.
