The deubiquitinating enzyme Usp14 controls ciliogenesis and Hedgehog signaling [PDF]
Primary cilia are hair-like organelles that play crucial roles in vertebrate development, organogenesis and when dysfunctional result in pleiotropic human genetic disorders called ciliopathies, characterized by overlapping phenotypes, such as renal and hepatic cysts, skeletal defects, retinal degeneration and central nervous system malformations ...

Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is involved in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have an essential role in the UPS-regulated stability of the substrate; however, the function of DUBs in intimal ...

PSMC3 promotes RNAi by maintaining AGO2 stability through USP14
Abstract Background Argonaute 2 (AGO2), the only protein with catalytic activity in the human Argonaute family, is considered as a key component of RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. Here we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen using the human Argonaute 2 PIWI domain as bait to screen for new AGO2-interacting proteins and ...

USP14 maintains HIF1-α stabilization via its deubiquitination activity in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common visceral neoplasms with its heterogeneity and high rate of recurrence. HCC is characterized to be delayed diagnosis and the development of resistant disease.

Structure and mechanisms of the proteasome‐associated deubiquitinating enzyme USP14 [PDF]
The ubiquitin-specific processing protease (UBP) family of deubiquitinating enzymes plays an essential role in numerous cellular processes. Mammalian USP14 (Ubp6 in yeast) is unique among known UBP enzymes in that it is activated catalytically upon specific association with the 26S proteasome.

The ataxia (axJ) mutation causes abnormal GABAA receptor turnover in mice [PDF]
Ataxia represents a pathological coordination failure that often involves functional disturbances in cerebellar circuits. Purkinje cells (PCs) characterize the only output neurons of the cerebellar cortex and critically participate in regulating motor ...

USP14 deubiquitinates proteasome-bound substrates that are ubiquitinated at multiple sites [PDF]
USP14 is a major regulator of the proteasome and one of three proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzymes. Its effects on protein turnover are substrate-specific, for unknown reasons. We report that USP14 shows a marked preference for ubiquitin-cyclin B conjugates that carry more than one ubiquitin modification or chain.
