"Our understanding of the USP13-MKK3 axis in this study primarily focuses on CRC, while its role in other cancers remains insufficiently explored."

"Meanwhile, blocking ubiquitination at the K32 site of MKK3 (K32R mutation) mimics the USP13 overexpression phenotype, further confirming that this site is the core target of the USP13-MKK3 regulatory axis."

"Additionally, whether the USP13-MKK3 axis can be effectively combined with existing targeted therapies (such as MEK, PI3K, and BRAF inhibitors) or immunotherapies (such as PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies) to enhance therapeutic efficacy requires further clinical trial data."

"USP13 interact with MKK3."

sparser
"Specifically, USP13 directly interacts with the C-terminal domain of MKK3 through its UBA domain and, relying on its deubiquitinase activity, selectively removes K48-linked ubiquitination (especially at the K32 site) on MKK3, thereby inhibiting its degradation via the proteasome."

sparser
"Finally, we demonstrated that p38 activation is both sufficient and necessary for the tumor-promoting effects downstream of the USP13-MKK3 axis."

"Therefore, further investigation is needed to elucidate the specific roles and mechanisms of the USP13-MKK3 axis in different cancers."
