IU1 activates USP14. 6 / 6
| 1 5

reach
"To verify whether this shRNA effect is dependent on inhibition of the deubiquitinating activity of USP14, we used IU1, a potent pharmacological inhibitor that selectively inhibits USP14 by preventing its docking on the proteasome [XREF_BIBR], and tested the effect of USP14 inhibition by IU1 on the AR expression in breast cancer cells."

reach
"Consistent with these findings, the Wnt3a CM induced expression of Wnt target genes, such as Nkd1 and Lef1, was significantly impaired in Usp14 -/- MEFs or wild-type MEFs treated with IU1 (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"Notably, IU1 only promoted degradation in Usp14 murine embryonic fibroblasts but not in Usp14 cells, suggesting that this compound functions specifically through USP14."

reach
"By inhibiting the deubiquitinating activity of USP14, IU1 would presumably prevent the rescue of some ubiquitinated neurotoxic proteins at the proteasome (such as tau and ataxin-3), leading to their degradation."

eidos
"The inhibitor IU1 blocks the activity of USP14 only in the presence of the proteasome , suggesting that it binds only to the activated enzyme ."

reach
"When usp14 -/- MEFs were treated with IU1, no effect on Tau was observed, indicating that IU1 enhances Tau degradation through inhibiting Usp14 (XREF_FIG)."
