In the Fanconi anemia pathway, deubiquitination of FANCD2 is a fundamental regulatory step. Here, the authors have developed a set of biochemical tools to reconstitute FANCD2 deubiquitination by recombinant USP1-UAF1-RAD51AP1 and reveal critical ...

Deubiquitinating Function of Adenovirus Proteinase [PDF]
ABSTRACT The invasion strategy of many viruses involves the synthesis of viral gene products that mimic the functions of the cellular proteins and thus interfere with the key cellular processes. Here we show that adenovirus infection is accompanied by an increased ubiquitin-cleaving (deubiquitinating) activity in the host cells.

USP7: Novel Drug Target in Cancer Therapy
Ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7) is one of the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUB) that erases ubiquitin and protects substrate protein from degradation.

The roles of protein ubiquitination in tumorigenesis and targeted drug discovery in lung cancer
The malignant lung cancer has a high morbidity rate and very poor 5-year survival rate. About 80% - 90% of protein degradation in human cells is occurred through the ubiquitination enzyme pathway.

echinus, required for interommatidial cell sorting and cell death in the Drosophila pupal retina, encodes a protein with homology to ubiquitin-specific proteases [PDF]
Background: Programmed cell death is used to remove excess cells between ommatidia in the Drosophila pupal retina. This death is required to establish the crystalline, hexagonal packing of ommatidia that characterizes the adult fly eye.

Deubiquitinating Enzymes and Bone Remodeling [PDF]
Bone remodeling, which is essential for bone homeostasis, is controlled by multiple factors and mechanisms. In the past few years, studies have emphasized the role of the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system in regulating bone remodeling. Deubiquitinases, which are grouped into five families, remove ubiquitin from target proteins and are involved in ...

Assay Systems for Profiling Deubiquitinating Activity [PDF]
Deubiquitinating enzymes regulate various cellular processes, particularly protein degradation, localization, and protein–protein interactions. The dysregulation of deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) activity has been linked to several diseases; however, the function of many DUBs has not been identified.

Ubiquitination and Deubiquitination in Oral Disease [PDF]
Oral health is an integral part of the general health and well-being of individuals. The presence of oral disease is potentially indicative of a number of systemic diseases and may contribute to their early diagnosis and treatment. The ubiquitin (Ub) system has been shown to play a role in cellular immune response, cellular development, and programmed ...

Opposite effects of two zinc(II) dithiocarbamates on NF-kB pathway [PDF]
Inhibiting nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kB) activation in anticancer and antiinflammatory therapy is of topical interest. Current research in molecular biology has dramatically advanced in the understanding of the cellular events involved in NF-kB induction.
