SHARPINing the knowledge of TCR signal control

SHARPIN acts independently of the ubiquitin-assembly complex LUBAC to attenuate proximal signaling downstream of TCRs by inhibiting the interaction of Zap70 with the TCRζ chain through Lys63 (K63)-linked polyubiquitination. SHARPIN deficiency enhanced TCR signaling and impaired the development and function of Treg cells.
