This Review considers how forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) — the key transcription factor of regulatory T (Treg) cells — is regulated both at the transcriptional level and through post-translational modifications. The authors explain how FOXP3 interacts with other molecules to induce and maintain Tregcell populations, and they discuss the potential of therapeutically targeting FOXP3 in the context of human disease.
