Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7) is essential for endometrial stromal cell decidualization in mice [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, Growth & Differentiation, 2019
Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP7), a member of the deubiquitinating (DUB) enzyme family, regulates protein stability and has a well‐characterized function in tumorigenesis. Given its critical role in growth and development, it was speculated to be involved in modulating processes in the female reproductive system but its exact role has not been ...

A Plasmodium falciparum ubiquitin-specific protease (PfUSP) is essential for parasite survival and its disruption enhances artemisinin efficacy

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2023
Proteins associated with ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) are potential drug targets in the malaria parasite. The ubiquitination and deubiquitination are key regulatory processes for the functioning of UPS. In this study, we have characterized the biochemical and functional role of a novel ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) domain-containing protein of

Regulation of neuronal morphogenesis and positioning by ubiquitin-specific proteases in the cerebellum.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Ubiquitin signaling mechanisms play fundamental roles in the cell-intrinsic control of neuronal morphogenesis and connectivity in the brain. However, whereas specific ubiquitin ligases have been implicated in key steps of neural circuit assembly, the ...

Ubiquitin-specific proteases are differentially expressed throughout the Schistosoma mansoni life cycle

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The ubiquitination process can be reversed by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). These proteases are involved in ubiquitin processing, in the recovery of modified ubiquitin trapped in inactive forms, and in the recycling of ubiquitin monomers ...

An N-terminal SIAH-interacting motif regulates the stability of the ubiquitin specific protease (USP)-19

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2013
The Ubiquitin Specific Protease-19 (USP19) regulates cell cycle progression and is involved in the cellular response to different types of stress, including the unfolded protein response (UPR), hypoxia and muscle atrophy. Using the unique N-terminal domain as bait in a yeast-two hybrid screen we have identified the ubiquitin ligases Seven In Absentia ...

Investigating In Situ Expression of c-MYC and Candidate Ubiquitin-Specific Proteases in DLBCL and Assessment for Peptidyl Disruptor Molecule against c-MYC-USP37 Complex

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Elevated expression of c-MYC in DLBCL is associated with poor prognosis of the disease.

Characterization of the deubiquitination activity and substrate specificity of the chicken ubiquitin-specific protease 1/USP associated factor 1 complex

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2017
Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are essential regulators of intracellular processes involving ubiquitin (Ub) modification. The human DUB ubiquitin-specific protease 1 (hUSP1) interacts with human USP-associated factor 1 (hUAF1), and helps to regulate processes such as DNA damage repair.

Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 25 exacerbated osteoarthritis progression through facilitating TXNIP ubiquitination and NLRP3 inflammasome activation

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023
Several members of the ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) family have been revealed to regulate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). The current study aimed to investigate the role and the underlying mechanism of USP25 in IL-1β-induced chondrocytes ...

Marek’s disease virus (MDV) ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) performs critical functions beyond its enzymatic activity during virus replication

open access: yesVirology, 2013
Marek's disease virus (MDV) encodes an ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) within its UL36 gene. USP is highly conserved among herpesviruses and was shown to be important for MDV replication and pathogenesis in MDV's natural host, the chicken. To further investigate the role of MDV USP, several recombinant (r) MDVs were generated and their in vitro ...

IKKβ and USP28 Regulate HEY1 Stability to Promote Cancer Stemness and Immune Evasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The uncovered IKKβ‐USP28‐HEY1 axis fuels cancer stemness and immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma. USP28 deubiquitinates HEY1 upon IKKβ‐mediated phosphorylation, conferring PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade resistance. Pharmacological inhibition of USP28 sensitizes resistant tumors to anti‐PD‐1 immunotherapy, revealing a promising therapeutic strategy ...
