Ubiquitination is a common post-translational modification, tagging proteins for degradation. The ubiquitin proteasome system is activated in Crohn’s Disease (CD), and modulation of its components might be a novel strategy for therapeutic intervention to control inflammation. The conjugation of ubiquitin to a target protein is orchestrated by a series of enzymatic reactions, the last step being catalyzed by a selective ubiquitin E3 ligase. Among ubiquitin E3 ligases, Fbxl2 serves as a sentinel gatekeeper to limit inflammation by targeting and enhancing the degradation of tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factors (TRAF) proteins, which link cell surface signals (through NFkB signaling) to cytokine secretion.
