The induction of a functional adaptive immune response requires the control of signaling processes downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR). In this regard, protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation have been extensively studied. In the past decades, further checkpoints of activation have been identified. These are E3 ligases catalyzing the transfer of ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins to protein substrates, as well as specific peptidases to counteract this reaction, such as deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). These posttranslational modifications can critically influence protein interactions by targeting proteins for degradation by proteasomes or mediating the complex formation required for active TCR signaling. Thus, the basic aspects of T cell development and differentiation are controlled by defining, e.g., the threshold of activation in positive and negative selection in the thymus. Furthermore, an emerging role of ubiquitination in peripheral T cell tolerance has been described. Changes in the function and abundance of certain E3 ligases or DUBs involved in T cell homeostasis are associated with the development of autoimmune diseases. This review summarizes the current knowledge of E3 enzymes and their target proteins regulating T cell signaling processes and discusses new approaches for therapeutic intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms23073424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,22]],"date-time":"2022-03-22T14:55:35Z","timestamp":1647960935000},"page":"3424","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Recycling and Reshaping\u2014E3 Ligases and DUBs in the Initiation of T Cell Receptor-Mediated Signaling and Response"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Clemens","family":"Cammann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Friedrich Loeffler-Institute of Medical Microbiology-Virology, University Medicine Greifswald, 17475 Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Israel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Friedrich Loeffler-Institute of Medical Microbiology-Virology, University Medicine Greifswald, 17475 Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hortense","family":"Slevogt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Host Septomics Group, Centre for Innovation Competence (ZIK) Septomics, University Hospital Jena, 07745 Jena, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Hannover Medical School, 30625 Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1037-3487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulrike","family":"Seifert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Friedrich Loeffler-Institute of Medical Microbiology-Virology, University Medicine Greifswald, 17475 Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"425","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.biochem.67.1.425","article-title":"The ubiquitin system","volume":"67","author":"Hershko","year":"1998","journal-title":"Annu.
