The Deubiquitinase UCHL1 Drives Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation by Stabilizing CaMKII‐δ
Advanced Science, EarlyView.UCHL1 is highly upregulated in mice and patients with AF. UCHL1 directly binds to and removes K48‐linked polyubiquitin chains from CaMKII‐δ at K251 and enhances CaMKII‐δ stability, which activates RyR2, disrupts Ca2+ handling, and promotes AF. These findings establish UCHL1 as a critical regulator of CaMKII‐δ stability and AF‐related Ca2+ handling ...

Deubiquitinase USP13 dictates MCL1 stability and sensitivity to BH3 mimetic inhibitors
, 2018 MCL1 is a pivot member of the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins. While a distinctive feature of MCL1 resides in its efficient ubiquitination and destruction, the deubiquitinase USP9X has been implicated in the preservation of MCL1 expression by ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sarbecovirus ORF9b recruits host phosphatase PPM1A to suppress innate immunity through dual mechanisms. PPM1A directly dephosphorylates ORF9b to sustain its activity and indirectly downregulates STAT2 phosphorylation to impair interferon signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of PPM1A restores antiviral responses and limits sarbecovirus replication ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.USP4 stabilizes CHAF1B by limiting K48‐linked ubiquitination. Stabilized CHAF1B supports UHRF1‐associated K63‐linked SETDB1 ubiquitination and cytoplasmic redistribution, whereas CHAF1B loss favors VHL‐dependent K11‐associated degradative ubiquitination and proteasomal loss of SETDB1.

Chimeric deubiquitinase engineering reveals structural basis for specific inhibition of the mitophagy regulator USP30 [PDF]
The mitochondrial deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) 30 negatively regulates PINK1–parkin-driven mitophagy. Whether enhanced mitochondrial quality control through inhibition of USP30 can protect dopaminergic neurons is currently being ...

The Salmonella deubiquitinase SseL inhibits selective autophagy of cytosolic aggregates. [PDF]
, 2012 Cell stress and infection promote the formation of ubiquitinated aggregates in both non-immune and immune cells. These structures are recognised by the autophagy receptor p62/sequestosome 1 and are substrates for selective autophagy.

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This study introduces a tree‐based machine learning approach to accelerate USP8 inhibitor discovery. The best‐performing model identified 100 high‐confidence repurposable compounds, half already approved or in clinical trials, and uncovered novel scaffolds not previously studied. These findings offer a solid foundation for rapid experimental follow‐up,
