USP7 deubiquitinates AXIN. 11 / 11
| 11

reach
"Coexpression of USP7 suppressed either RNF146 or SIAH1-induced poly-ubiquitination of Axin (Supplementary Fig. 3d)."

reach
"USP7 deubiquitinates Axin protein, which is a part of a complex that inhibits β-catenin protein."

reach
"A component of the destruction complex, Axin, is ubiquitinated by RNF146, Smurf1/2, and Siah1 and deubiquitinated by USP7, USP34, and USP44 (Kim and Jho 2010; Lui et al. 2011; Zhang et al. 2011; Fei et al. 2013;  Ji et al. 2017; Ji et al. 2019; Huang et al. 2020)."

reach
"However, a recent study suggested that USP7 physically deubiquitinated Axin, but not β-catenin, thus serving as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling [ 37 ]."

reach
"Lei Ji et al. showed that USP7 inhibited Wnt/β-catenin by interacting with Axin TRAF domains and promoting the de-ubiquitination and stabilization of Axin 28."

reach
"USP7 directly interacts with Axin through its TRAF domain, and promotes deubiquitination and stabilization of Axin."

reach
"Contrary to our finding, a more recent study showed that USP7 is a potent negative regulator of WNT/β-catenin signaling by deubiquitinating and stabilizing AXIN (Ji et al., 2019), casting doubt on the use of USP7 as WNT inhibitor for patients with APC-mutated CRC."

reach
"Deubiquitination of Axin mediated by USP7 prevents Axin from degrading and providing stability."

reach
"USP7 promotes deubiquitination and stabilization of Axin."

reach
"Our results demonstrated that USP7 and β-catenin exhibited opposite trends; however, it remains unclear how USP7 mediates the deubiquitination of Axin in the absence of Kcnma1 in osteoblasts."

reach
"These results suggest that polyubiquitinated Axin1, but not β-catenin, is an efficient substrate of USP7.Since USP7 knockout promotes Wnt-induced Axin degradation (Fig. 3d, e), we next examined whether USP7 knockout affects Wnt-induced Axin ubiquitination."
