DCAF1 controls T-cell function via p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms

DCAF1 (VprBP), an HIV target protein, is a component of an ubiquitin ligase complex involved in developmental processes in plants and animals. Here, DCAF1 is shown to be vital for activation-induced T cell growth and proliferation, partly by being required for p53’s ubiquitination and degradation.
