title: Ubiquitin ligases in T cell activation and autoimmunity.
abstract: Ubiquitination-mediated protein modifications are increasingly recognized as key regulatory events in many basic cell biology processes. A key class of enzymes called ubiquitin ligases, which has been shown to play a crucial role in the ubiquitination process, can positively or negatively regulate T cell responses. This review summarizes the recent advances defining the roles of several ubiquitin ligases in T cell activation and autoimmunity.
