The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM31 attenuates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by promoting proteasomal degradation of NLRP3

The NLRP3 inflammasome controls the response of the host to pathogens; precise regulation is required to limit autoimmune diseases. Here, the authors identify the E3 ligase TRIM31 that aids the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of NLRP3, which may be a therapeutic target for alleviating disease.
