TY - JOUR A1 - Fulda, Simone A1 - Rajalingam, Krishnaraj A1 - Đikić, Ivan T1 - Ubiquitylation in immune disorders and cancer: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic implications T2 - EMBO molecular medicine N2 - Conjugation of ubiquitin to proteins (ubiquitylation) has emerged to be one of the most crucial post-translational modifications controlling virtually all cellular processes. What was once regarded as a mere signal for protein degradation has turned out to be a major regulator of molecular signalling networks. Deregulation of ubiquitin signalling is closely associated with various human pathologies. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of ubiquitin signalling in immune deficiencies and cancer as well as the available therapeutic strategies targeting the ubiquitin system in combating these pathogenic conditions.
