The CARD14WT/E138A interactome.

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin for which current treatments are only partially effective. There is therefore an urgent need to develop novel therapies with higher efficacy through a better understanding of disease aetiology. Recently, it has been demonstrated that individuals with specific mutations in the gene encoding the adapter protein CARD14 have a high risk of developing psoriasis. Psoriasis associated CARD14 mutations result in enhanced activation of NF-kB transcription factors in keratinocytes. The CARD14/NF-kB axis may therefore be central in driving the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The aim of this project is to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which CARD14 activates the NF-kB pathway. Specifically, within this project, we aim to detail the interaction partners of both WT and a gain-of-function mutant CARD14 (E138A) via SILAC and mass spectrometry.
