"Expert opinionSelective and reversible inhibitors of ubiquitin specific protease 7 : a patent evaluation (WO2013030218) Benedikt M KesslerUniversity of Oxford, Target Discovery Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine, Oxford, UKThe invention described in this review (WO2013030218) relates to compounds based on the quinazolin-4-one scaffold, their process of preparation and applications to inhibit the ubiquitin specific protease 7 (USP7), a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), which is considered a potentially important new drug target for treating cancer and immunological disorders."

reach
"However, it is still possible that USP7 may antagonize the action of FBXL21 by cleaving the ubiquitin chain (s) formed by FBXL21."

reach
"As increased TAL1 oncogenic activity was also evident in the accelerated cell growth observed after CRISPR knock-out of half of the USP7 loci in T-ALL cell lines, we hypothesize that USP7 haploinsufficiency in T-ALL down-regulates the ability of this deubiquitylating enzyme to remove ubiquitin from E-proteins, leads to enhanced TAL1 heterodimer formation, which favors TAL1 mediated thymocyte transformation."

reach
"Ubiquitin ligase activity is therefore required for mRNA degradation and can be prevented either by removal of the RING (RINGless MEX-3C) or by overexpression of the USP7 DUB."

reach
"In parallel, results from ubiquitination assay indicated that ubiquitin aggregation on TAZ was profoundly induced by β-TRCP or reduced by USP7 (Fig. 5B, lane 2, 3)."

reach
"Importantly, these effects were independent of p53 status and could be rescued by the MG132 proteasome inhibitor (XREF_FIG), suggesting that USP7 prevents ubiquitin mediated degradation of TRIM27 by the proteasome."

reach
"Taken together, these data suggest that RNF4 is responsible for sustaining DNA replication and repairing damage that occurs in USP7 mutants.Bortezomib depletes the nuclear pool of ubiquitin and impairs K63-linked polyubiquitination of H2AX, a requirement for the recruitment of BRCA1 and RAD51 to DSBs [74], leading to the accumulation of unrepaired breaks [64]."

reach
"USP7 or USP11 depletion increased the amount of chromatin-bound Ub–PCNA particularly after UV treatment, but to a lesser extent than USP1 or ATAD5 depletion."

reach
"This result shows that USP7 reduces proteasome recognition and degradation by removing ubiquitin from HMGB1."

reach
"This class of allosteric inhibitors has been demonstrated to bind to the ' palm ' region of the USP7 catalytic domain thereby impeding ubiquitin binding (orange, XREF_FIG) [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Although USP7, like all DUBS, deconjugates ubiquitin from several target proteins, inhibition of USP7 promotes the degradation of its primary cellular target, HDM2, resulting in net p53 stabilization and activation [30], [42], [43]."
