The methionine 1 (M1)-specific deubiquitinase (DUB) OTULIN acts as a negative regulator of nuclear factor κB signaling and immune homeostasis. By replacing Gly76 in distal ubiquitin (Ub) by dehydroalanine we designed the diubiquitin (diUb) activity-based probe Ub-Ub (OTULIN activity-based probe [ABP]) that couples to the catalytic site of OTULIN and thereby captures OTULIN in its active conformation. The OTULIN ABP displays high selectivity for OTULIN and does not label other M1-cleaving DUBs, including CYLD. The only detectable cross-reactivities were the labeling of USP5 (Isopeptidase T) and an ATP-dependent assembly of polyOTULIN ABP chains via Ub-activating E1 enzymes. Both cross-reactivities were abolished by the removal of the C-terminal Gly in the ABP's proximal Ub, yielding the specific OTULIN probe Ub-Ub (OTULIN ABPΔG76). Pull-downs demonstrate that substrate-bound OTULIN associates with the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC). Thus, we present a highly selective ABP for OTULIN that will facilitate studying the cellular function of this essential DUB.

OTULIN confers cisplatin resistance in osteosarcoma by mediating GPX4 protein homeostasis to evade the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents, arises from bone-forming mesenchymal cells. Despite advancements in surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate), chemotherapy resistance remains a significant challenge, leading to poor survival rates in patients with metastatic or recurrent OS.
Methods: In this study, we focused on the role of OTULIN, a key linear deubiquitinating enzyme, in OS chemoresistance.
Exploring and validating the necroptotic gene regulation and related lncRNA mechanisms in colon adenocarcinoma based on multi-dimensional data.

Necroptosis is intimately associated with the initiation and progression of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). However, studies on necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) and the regulating long non-coding RNAs (NRGlncRNAs) in the context of COAD are limited. We retrieved the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) to collect datasets of NRGs and NRGlncRNAs on COAD patients.

Article Synopsis
- Caviar yield, color, and body weight are important traits in sturgeon breeding, and understanding their genetic basis is key for improvement.
- The study sequenced the genomes of 673 Russian sturgeons, identifying around 10.41 million high-quality SNPs linked to these traits through a genome-wide association study.
- By applying the GFBLUP method, the researchers improved the accuracy of predicting these traits, paving the way for better genetic selection in sturgeon breeding.
OTULIN's influence on neuroinflammation and pain modulation in trigeminal neuralgia.

Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), marked by chronic pain from neural damage, is closely associated with inflammation. The role of OTULIN, a key regulator in inflammation and autophagy, is not fully understood in TN. The regulatory mechanism of OTULIN, a key protein involved in modulating inflammatory responses and autophagy processes, remains incompletely elucidated, particularly in the context of TN and neuroinflammation.

Like many other viruses, KSHV has two life cycle modes: the latent phase and the lytic phase. The RTA protein from KSHV is essential for lytic reactivation, but how this protein's activity is regulated is not fully understood. Here, we report that linear ubiquitination regulates the activity of RTA during KSHV lytic reactivation and de novo infection.
