Chapter 1: The UBA doma<strong>in</strong>s <strong>of</strong> NUB1L are required for b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g but not<br />
for accelerated <strong>degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>ubiquit<strong>in</strong></strong>-<strong>like</strong> <strong>modifier</strong> <strong>FAT10</strong><br />
I performed <strong>the</strong> experiments depicted <strong>in</strong> figures 6, 13G <strong>and</strong> 13H <strong>and</strong> helped write<br />
<strong>the</strong> paper. This chapter was published <strong>in</strong> J. Biol. Chem. 281(29): 20045-54.<br />
2006.<br />
Chapter 2: Degradation <strong>of</strong> <strong>FAT10</strong> by <strong>the</strong> 26S proteasome <strong>in</strong> vitro is <strong>in</strong>de-<br />
pendent <strong>of</strong> ubiquitylation but relies on NUB1L<br />
I established <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong> vitro <strong>degradation</strong> assay <strong>and</strong> wrote <strong>the</strong> paper. This chapter<br />
was submitted for publication.<br />
Chapter 3: The <strong>ubiquit<strong>in</strong></strong>-<strong>like</strong> <strong>modifier</strong> <strong>FAT10</strong> <strong>in</strong>teracts with HDAC6 <strong>and</strong><br />
localizes to aggresomes under proteasome <strong>in</strong>hibition<br />
I designed <strong>and</strong> performed all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> experiments <strong>in</strong> this chapter <strong>and</strong> wrote <strong>the</strong><br />
paper. This chapter was published <strong>in</strong> J. Cell Sci. 121(24): 4079-4088. 2008.<br />
Chapter 4: <strong>FAT10</strong>-deficient mice display a prolonged CD8 + T-cell re-<br />
sponse after LCMV <strong>in</strong>fection<br />
I performed <strong>the</strong> genotyp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> supervised <strong>the</strong> breed<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>FAT10</strong> -/- mice. In ad-<br />
dition, I performed <strong>the</strong> experiments <strong>in</strong>vestigat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> maturation-<strong>in</strong>duced apop-<br />
tosis <strong>of</strong> BMDCs as well as prelim<strong>in</strong>ary experiments <strong>in</strong>vestigat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> CD8 + T cell<br />
response to LCMV.<br />
Chapter 5: Generation <strong>of</strong> mouse monoclonal antibodies directed aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />
human <strong>FAT10</strong><br />
I generated <strong>the</strong> antibodies <strong>and</strong> performed <strong>the</strong> experiments depicted <strong>in</strong> all figures<br />
except for figure 32.<br />
