Mutated KRAS increases the amount of JOSD2. 6 / 6
| 6

reach
"As shown in Fig. 4q, KRAS mutants significantly upregulated JOSD2 levels, but failed to pose similar effects in CHIP-depleted cells, indicating that KRAS mutants upregulated JOSD2 relying on CHIP.Given that JOSD2 functions as a DUB, we further investigate whether JOSD2 exhibits auto-DUB activity."

reach
"Mechanically, KRAS mutants positively regulated JOSD2 protein levels and stability in a CHIP-dependent manner and then restrained JOSD2 proteasomal degradation at K48, K142, and K181."

reach
"However, despite the activated state of YAP/TAZ, depletion of JOSD2 still shows more robust anti-tumor effects in KRAS-mutant xenografts compared to the wild-type counterparts, further demonstrating that the growth-inhibitory effect of JOSD2 knockdown depends, at least partially, on the degradation of mutant KRAS.Given that KRAS mutants upregulated JOSD2 levels relying on CHIP, whether CHIP overexpression plays a similar role as JOSD2 shRNA?"

reach
"Based on this understanding, we propose that KRAS mutants specifically upregulate JOSD2 levels by inhibiting the MEK5-ERK5 cascade, which mediates the promotion of CHIP activity ."

reach
"Correspondingly, depletion of KRAS mutants dramatically downregulated JOSD2 levels (Fig. 4c), indicating KRAS mutants positively regulated JOSD2 levels."

reach
"More importantly, KRAS mutants have been reported to suppress E3 enzymatic activity of CHIP , we next attempted to demonstrate whether KRAS mutants upregulating JOSD2 levels depend on CHIP."
