Associate Professor Paul Elliott specializes in investigating the regulation of inflammatory signaling and cellular signaling pathways influenced by post-translational modifications, particularly ubiquitination. His research emphasizes the role of the ubiquitin code, which comprises eight distinct types of ubiquitin chains, including Lys6, Lys11, Lys27, Lys29, Lys33, Lys48, Lys63, and Met1. Elliott's work seeks to understand how these chains—synthesized by dedicated 'writers,' interpreted by 'readers,' and modified by 'erasers'—regulate crucial cellular functions. His research is fundamental in elucidating how the defects in synthesizing Met1 ubiquitin chains can contribute to human auto-inflammatory and immunodeficiency diseases. By employing an integrated structural, biochemical, and biophysical approach, Elliott aims to provide insights into the mechanistic basis of the ubiquitin signal and its control over inflammatory signaling pathways.
