The Human IL-22 Receptor Is Regulated through the Action of the Novel E3 Ligase Subunit FBXW12, Which Functions as an Epithelial Growth Suppressor by Joseph Franz, Jacob Jerome, Travis Lear, Qiaoke Gong, Nathaniel M. Weathington

“…We recently described processing of mouse lung epithelial IL-22 receptor (IL-22R) by ubiquitination on the intracellular C-terminal. To identify cellular factors that regulate human IL-22R, we screened receptor abundance while overexpressing constituents of the ubiquitin system and identify that IL-22R can be shuttled for degradation by multiple previously uncharacterized F-box protein E3 ligase subunits. …”
