Generalities Function Deubiquitinases or Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are key enzymes belonging to the vast group of proteases, allowing the degradation of ubiquitin of proteins. These enzymes are thus implicated in the regulation of protein degradation. Indeed, when a protein is going to be degraded, an enzymatic cascade will add a poly-ubiquitin fragment to the protein. This mechanism is called ubiquitination.[1] Following this step, mono or poly-ubiquitin is removed from the protein which has been degraded, by deubiquitinase. Disease The involvement of deubiquitinases in diseases is still poorly understood. However, it is known that they play a role in various physiological processes, particularly in the case of cancers. Structural highlights This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
