Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are emerging as important regulators of many pathways germane to cancer. They may regulate the stability of key oncogenes, exemplified by USP28 stabilisation of c-Myc. Alternatively they can negatively regulate ubiquitin-dependent signalling cascades such as the NF-kappaB activation pathway. We review the current literature that associates DUBs with cancer and discuss their suitability as drug targets of the future.
去泛素化酶(DUBs)正在成为与癌症相关的许多途径的重要调节剂。它们可能调节关键癌基因的稳定性,USP28 稳定 c-Myc 就是一个例子。或者,它们可以负调控依赖泛素的信号级联反应,如 NF-κB 激活途径。我们综述了目前与癌症相关的 DUBs 的文献,并讨论了它们作为未来药物靶点的适用性。
