The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has garnered much attention due to its potential for the development of therapeutics. Following a successful clinical application of general proteasome inhibitors much effort has been devoted to targeting individual UPS components including E3 enzymes and deubiquitinases that control specificity of ubiquitination. Our group has developed a novel approach for targeting the UPS proteins using engineered ubiquitin variants (Ubvs).
