Regulation of emergency hematopoiesis by the ubiquitin-proteasome system

Project Summary The response to systemic infection and tissue injury requires the rapid adaptation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow, which proliferate and divert their differentiation towards the myeloid lineage. Significant interest has emerged in understanding the signals that trigger this emergency hematopoietic program. However, the mechanisms that terminate this response of the HSCs and restore tissue homeostasis remain unknown. The clinical success of proteasome inhibitors, bortezomib, and E3 ubiquitin ligase glues for the treatment of hematologic diseases has made the Ubiquitin pathway a bona fide target for cancer therapeutics. Thus, defining how novel E3…
