USP14 as a Therapeutic Target Against Neurodegeneration: A Rat Brain Perspective [PDF]
In the recent past, many of the deubiquitinases (DUB) were found to modulate mitochondrial clearance or mitophagy and thus they are currently projected as therapeutic targets against neurodegeneration.

Inhibition of USP14 enhances the sensitivity of breast cancer to enzalutamide [PDF]
Background Androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in approximately 70% of breast tumors. Recent studies increasingly support AR as a potential therapeutic target of AR-positive breast cancer.

Inactive USP14 and inactive UCHL5 cause accumulation of distinct ubiquitinated proteins in mammalian cells. [PDF]
USP14 is a cysteine protease deubiquitinase associated with the proteasome and plays important catalytic and allosteric roles in proteasomal degradation.

Biallelic USP14 variants cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder [PDF]
Imbalances in protein homeostasis affect human brain development, with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy playing crucial roles in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). This study explores the impact of biallelic USP14 variants on neurodevelopment, focusing on its role as a key hub connecting UPS and autophagy.Here, we identified ...

USP14 Inhibition Regulates Tumorigenesis by Inducing Autophagy in Lung Cancer In Vitro
The ubiquitin–proteasome system is an essential regulator of several cellular pathways involving oncogenes. Deubiquitination negatively regulates target proteins or substrates linked to both hereditary and sporadic forms of cancer. The deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) is associated with proteasomes where it trims the ...

Transient interdomain interactions in free
AbstractThe deubiquitinase (DUB) ubiquitin‐specific protease 14 (USP14) is a dual domain protein that plays a regulatory role in proteasomal degradation and has been identified as a promising therapeutic target. USP14 comprises a conserved USP domain and a ubiquitin‐like (Ubl) domain separated by a 25‐residue linker.

Usp14 is required for spermatogenesis and ubiquitin stress responses in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
ABSTRACT Deubiquitylating (DUB) enzymes free covalently linked ubiquitin moieties from ubiquitin–ubiquitin and ubiquitin–protein conjugates, and thereby maintain the equilibrium between free and conjugated ubiquitin moieties and regulate ubiquitin-mediated cellular processes. Here, we performed genetic analyses of mutant phenotypes in
