Abstract

Turnover of cellular proteins is regulated by Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS). Components of this pathway, including the proteasome, ubiquitinating enzymes and deubiquitinating enzymes, are highly specialized and tightly regulated. In this mini-review we focus on the de-ubiquitinating enzyme USP7, and summarize latest advances in understanding its structure, substrate specificity and relevance to human cancers. There is increasing interest in UPS components as targets for cancer therapy and here we also overview the recent progress in the development of small molecule inhibitors that target USP7.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
