As a crucial post-translational modification (PTM), protein ubiquitination mediates the breakdown of particular proteins, which plays a pivotal role in a large number of biological processes including plant growth, development, and stress response. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) consists of ubiquitin (Ub), ubiquitinase, deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), and 26S proteasome mediates more than 80% of protein degradation for protein turnover in plants. For the ubiquitinases, including ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and ubiquitin ligase (E3), the FBK (F-box Kelch repeat protein) is an essential component of multi-subunit E3 ligase SCF (Skp1-Cullin 1-F-box) involved in the specific recognition of target proteins in the UPS.

Background: The high mortality rate of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is primarily attributed to resistance to chemotherapy, where cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a crucial role. Deubiquitinating enzymes are essential regulators of CSC maintenance, making them potential targets for eliminating CSCs and overcoming chemotherapy resistance. This study aims to identify key deubiquitinating enzymes regulating CSCs and drug resistance of CRC.

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone density and an increased risk of fractures, particularly prevalent in the aging population. Osteoporotic complications, including vertebral compression fractures, hip fractures, and distal forearm fractures, affect over 8.9 million individuals globally, placing a significant economic strain on healthcare systems.

Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is common in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). Emerging evidence links lncRNAs to multiple stages of metastasis from initial migration to colonization of distant organs. In this study we investigated the role of lncRNAs in metabolic reprogramming during CRLM using patient-derived organoid (PDO) models.

Increased level of angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a central role in the development of hypertensive vascular remodeling. In this study, we identified the deubiquitinating enzyme Josephin domain-containing protein 2 (JOSD2) as a protective factor and investigated its molecular mechanism in Ang II-induced vascular remodeling. First, we found that JOSD2 was upregulated in aortic smooth muscle cells, but not in endothelial cells of Ang II-challenged mouse vascular tissues.
