Protein degradation by the 26S proteasome is a fundamental process involved in a broad range of cellular activities, yet how proteasome activity is regulated remains poorly understood. We report here that ubiquitin-like domain-containing C-terminal domain phosphatase 1 (UBLCP1) is a 26S proteasome phosphatase that regulates nuclear proteasome activity. UBLCP1 directly interacts with the proteasome via its UBL domain and is exclusively localized in the nucleus. UBLCP1 dephosphorylates the 26S proteasome and inhibits proteasome activity in vitro. Knockdown of UBLCP1 in cells promotes 26S proteasome assembly and selectively enhances nuclear proteasome activity. Our results describe the first identified proteasome-specific phosphatase and uncover a unique mechanism for phosphoregulation of the proteasome.

Light is a major determinant of plant growth and survival. NONEXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 1 (NPR1) acts as a receptor for salicylic acid (SA) and serves as the key regulator of SA-mediated immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which plants integrate light and SA signals in response to environmental changes, as well as the role of NPR1 in regulating plant photomorphogenesis, remain poorly understood.

The Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a DNA virus that affects the silkworm, , causing substantial economic losses in sericulture. This study investigates the mechanisms underlying budded virus egress, focusing on the roles of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) machinery. BmNPV produces two virion types: budded virions (BVs) and occlusion-derived virions (ODVs), which differ in their envelope origins and functions.

DPCs are heavily polyubiquitinated, and the SPRTN protease and 26S proteasome emerged as two central enzymes for DPC proteolysis. The proteasome recognises its substrates by their ubiquitination status.
