  • Ubiquitinated TNF receptor2 and its uses
    Publication number: 20060134737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ubiquitinated TNF receptor 2, and the uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of TNF receptor 2 ubiquitination to deplete TNF receptor 2 from the cell membrane and cytoplasm, and relocalize it in the insoluble cell fraction. Such relocalization can be used to modulate the signaling activity of the TNF receptor 2 and to treat TNF receptor 2-related diseases. The invention relates further to the use of Smurf 2 to ubiquitinate TNF receptor 2 and to the use of TRAF2 to mediate TNF receptor 2 ubiquitination.
