Abstract CARMA1, BCL-10 and MALT1 are signalling proteins that have a key role in
antigen-receptor-mediated lymphocyte activation through the nuclear factor-κB pathway.
Recent genetic studies have revealed additional, previously unexpected roles for these
proteins in the development of B and T cells, and in the CD40-and lipopolysaccharide-
dependent activation of B cells. Here, I discuss recent advances in the understanding of the
molecular and biological functions of these proteins.
