Internal Ubiquitin Electrophiles for Covalent Trapping and Inhibition of Deubiquitinases
The ubiquitin (Ub) system governs vital cellular processes in eukaryotic biology through an intricate network of Ub‐protein interactions. While semisynthetic C‐terminal Ub electrophiles (UbEs) are widely used to study Ub transfer and deubiquitinase (Dub) activity, they are limited to probing the active site while leaving other functionally important ...

Advancing the Exploration of the Ubiquitin‐like Protein FUBI with Synthetic Chemical Tools
This study unveils a novel synthetic platform by solid‐phase peptide synthesis for generating FUBI‐based chemical tools to investigate FUBIylation, a poorly understood ubiquitin‐like signaling process linked to cancer. By employing these innovative probes, we uncover novel FUBI interactors, paving the way for transformative insights into FUBI biology ...

Beyond Histones: Unveiling the Functional Roles of Protein Acetylation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
ABSTRACT Lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in cellular processes and is found across various evolutionary organisms. Recent advancements in proteomic techniques revealed the presence of acetylation in thousands of non‐histone proteins. Here, we conducted extensive meta‐analysis of 48 acetylomes spanning diverse organisms, including archaea ...

PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...

Ubiquitin‐specific protease 7 (USP‐7) is a novel target for anticancer therapy. To further extend the structure–activity relationships of the previously USP‐7 inhibitor STIRUR‐41, a library of 5‐aminopyrazoles is reported. 1d shows a potency comparable to lead compound STIRUR‐41 and promising in silico and in vitro pharmacokinetic properties ...
