Essential Role of Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 8 for Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Stability and Endocytic Trafficking In Vivo
Open accessAbstract
Posttranslational modification by ubiquitin controls multiple cellular functions and is counteracted by the activities of deubiquitinating enzymes. UBPy (USP8) is a growth-regulated ubiquitin isopeptidase that interacts with the HRS-STAM complex. Using Cre-loxP-mediated gene targeting in mice, we show that lack of UBPy results in embryonic lethality, whereas its conditional inactivation in adults causes fatal liver failure. The defect is accompanied by a strong reduction or absence of several growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), like epidermal growth factor receptor, hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-met), and ERBB3. UBPy-deficient cells exhibit aberrantly enlarged early endosomes colocalizing with enhanced ubiquitination and have reduced levels of HRS and STAM2. Congruently immortalized cells gradually stop proliferation upon induced deletion of UBPy. These results unveil a central and nonredundant role of UBPy in growth regulation, endosomal sorting, and the control of RTKs in vivo.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
UBPy (USP8) is essential in vivo: constitutive deletion causes embryonic lethality, while induced deletion in adult mice causes fatal liver failure. UBPy maintains receptor tyrosine kinase protein levels and endocytic trafficking, at least in part by counteracting ubiquitination and stabilizing the HRS-STAM complex.
Key findings
- Heterozygote intercrosses yielded 13 UBPy+/+ (27.7%) and 34 UBPy+/− (72.3%) animals but no UBPy−/− mice; E9.5 mutant embryos were growth retarded and disorganized. Adult induced deletion caused death 4 to 6 days after poly(I:C), with severe liver failure, hyperbilirubinemia, and elevated liver enzymes.
- Immortalized UBPy-deficient MEFs stopped growing 6 to 8 days after tamoxifen-induced deletion, with severely reduced BrdU incorporation but no enhanced apoptosis/TUNEL in MEFs; in contrast, hepatocytes showed apoptosis.
- Loss of UBPy strongly reduced or eliminated RTKs: EGFR, c-met, and ERBB3 were decreased/absent in liver extracts, and EGFR was strongly reduced in cells; EGFR mRNA did not differ significantly, and EGF-induced Erk1/2 phosphorylation was impaired, while STAT1 phosphorylation was unaffected.
- UBPy-deficient cells showed enlarged EEA1-positive early endosomes, accumulated multivesicular bodies, reduced/absent HRS and STAM2, and enhanced ubiquitinated substrates colocalizing with enlarged endosomes; proteasomal activity was not impaired and free ubiquitin levels were unchanged, while ALIX and TSG101 were unaffected.
Methods
- Conditional Cre-loxP UBPy mice were generated by flanking exon IV with loxP sites; germline deletion used EIIa-Cre, and adult inducible deletion used MX-Cre with poly(I:C). Embryos were from heterozygous matings.
- Immortalized UBPy fl/fl MEFs expressing Cre-ERT2 were used for tamoxifen-inducible deletion; analyses included immunoblotting, Southern/Northern blotting, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, BrdU incorporation, TUNEL, liver plasma analysis, and proteasome activity assays.
- EGF stimulation was performed after serum starvation with 100 ng/ml EGF; data are means ± standard errors of the mean, with statistical differences determined by Student’s t test.
Limitations
- The paper states that because of the severe liver phenotype and early death, cell-type-specific inactivation will be necessary to define the physiological relevance in other organs or cell types, and that detailed mechanisms leading to RTK reduction need to be defined.
- The paper notes that MX-Cre-mediated deletion is generally fastest and most efficient in the liver, which most likely explains why the phenotype manifests there although UBPy is also expressed in other cell types.
- Evident from the text: constitutive UBPy loss is embryonic lethal, limiting analysis of adult constitutive deletion; much mechanistic work relies on an immortalized MEF line and induced deletion, and the proposal that UBPy has two independent functions in RTK degradation is presented as a model.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
