Drosophila Cul3 contributes to Diap2-mediated innate immune signaling for antimicrobial defense by Fanrui Kong, Zixuan Wang, Chuchu Zhang, Yihua Xiao, Muhammad Abdul Rehman Saeed, Weini Li, Akira Goto, Qingshuang Cai, Shanming Ji

“…We show that silencing of Cul3 leads to a decreased induction of antimicrobial peptides and high mortality in adult flies after bacterial infection. Through biochemical approaches, we demonstrate that Cul3 predominantly relies on its BTB-binding domain and neddylation domain to physically associate with death-associated inhibitor of apoptosis 2 (Diap2). …”
