Peptidoglycan (PGN) is a component of cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria that stimulates inflammatory responses through Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2). The carboxyl terminus of constitutive heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70)-interacting protein (CHIP, also known as Stub1) is a U-box-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, which plays an important role in protein quality control and inflammation through ubquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. However, it is unclear whether TLR2 agonist PGN regulates the expression and activation of CHIP.
