SFRP2 Potentiates Metastasis of Colon Cancer by Enhancing Snai1 Protein Stability via USP11

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Metastatic colon cancer remains a significant clinical challenge, often associated with poor patient prognosis. Recent studies have identified the secreted frizzled‐related protein 2 (SFRP2) as a key player in this malignancy, showing its overexpression in metastatic cases.

Defining the regulatory determinants in substrate catalysis by biochemical, biophysical, and kinetic studies for the development of specific small-molecule inhibitors of ubiquitin specific proteases 7 and 17 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ubiquitination is an important post-translational modification involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating many delicate cellular processes, including the cell-cycle, membrane protein trafficking, endocytosis and apoptosis.

Ubiquitin-specific proteases as cancer drug targets

open access: yes, 2011
Ubiquitin-specific proteases are deubiquitinating enzymes involved in the removal of ubiquitin from specific protein substrates resulting in protein salvage from proteasome degradation, regulation of protein localization or activation.

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

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
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 ...

High incidence of ubiquitin-like domains in human ubiquitin-specific proteases

open access: yes, 2007
Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) emerge as key regulators of numerous cellular processes and account for the bulk of human deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs).

Ubiquitin-specific proteases 7 and 11 modulate Polycomb regulation of the INK4a tumour suppressor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An important facet of transcriptional repression by Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is the mono-ubiquitination of histone H2A by the combined action of the Posterior sex combs (Psc) and Sex combs extra (Sce) proteins.

USP1 Promotes Malignant Progression of Cervical Cancer Cells by Deubiquitinating and Stabilizing ATG13 to Enhance Autophagic Activity

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
USP1, overexpressed in cervical cancer and linked to advanced pathological grade, promotes cervical cancer progression by deubiquitinating and stabilizing ATG13 to enhance autophagy, and USP1 inhibitor ML323 can reverse this oncogenic effect, making USP1 a promising therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
