Cezanne Paints Inflammation by Regulating Ubiquitination

Your doctor can translate and give you a stroke protocol to stop inflammation during the hyperacute phase. And if you believe that, there is a Brooklyn bridge for sale.

Hypoxia–reoxygenation can induce inflammation by activating nuclear factor (NF)-κB. In endothelial cells, this process is critical for the pathogenesis of many chronic inflammatory conditions, such as atherosclerosis and autoimmune disease. Recent publication from Evans’s laboratory shows the critical role of deubiquitinating enzyme Cezanne, regulating its extent of NF-κB activation and expression of inflammatory genes.1 In particular, they showed that the inhibition of polyubiquitination of TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) 6 is a specific anti-inflammatory mechanism by Cezanne. In this editorial, we briefly review the TRAF6-mediated NF-κB signaling and other posttranslational modifications that play a key role in modulating endothelial cell inflammation.

NF-κB transcription factor complexes consist of a heterodimer of p65 (RelA) and p50 or p52.2 In most nonstimulated cells, p65-containing NF-κB complexes are kept in an inactive cytoplasmic form, bound to one family of inhibitor proteins, the inhibitory κBs (IκBs). Two IκB kinases, IKKα and IKKβ, target phosphorylation of IκB after hypoxia–reoxygenation, cytokine, or ultraviolet stress stimulation. Phosphorylation of IκBs promotes their ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome, which releases the p65 complex, allowing it to translocate to the nucleus.3 An ubiquitin E2 conjugating enzyme of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (Ubc)4/5 family and the SCF-βTrCP E3 ligase (Skp1-Cul1-F-box ligase containing the F-box beta protein βTrCP) execute ubiquitination of IκB. Once IκB is phosphorylated, p-transducin repeat containing protein 1 (βTrCP1) and βTrCP2 associate with phosphorylated IκB.4,5 The polyubiquitinated IκB is selectively degraded by the 26S proteasome, and then mature p52 and
