Neddylation Targets and Stabilizes NLRP3 to Augment Inflammasome‐Mediated Colitis and Mood Disorder

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to colitis and mood disorder. This study demonstrates that neddylation targets NLRP3 at K287, which hinders its interaction with K48‐linked ubiquitination E3 Trim31 and thereby stabilizes it. Neddylation blockade in myeloid cells and microglia mitigates DSS‐induced colitis and psychological stress‐induced anxiety‐like ...
