"Interestingly, we found that USP14 was associated with RelA, a binding partner of I-κB, suggesting that RelA is the linker between USP14 and I-κB. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment induced serine phosphorylation of USP14 as well as further reducing I-κB levels in HA-USP14-overexpressed MLE12 cells as compared with empty vector transfected cells."

"1) We analyzed the distribution of phosphorylated and total USP14 by glycerol gradient centrifugation (Koulich et al., 2008) and found that phosphorylated USP14 was largely present in fractions without proteasome while unphosphorylated USP14 was found in the same fractions with proteasome ( xref )."

"Since Akt is dramatically activated in PTEN-deficient cancer cells, the control of USP14 phosphorylation by Akt may provide a mechanism for cancer cells with PTEN loss, one of the most common cancer mutations, to control global intracellular proteostasis by regulating protein degradation through proteasomes."

"Since Akt can be activated by a wide range of growth factors and is under negative control by phosphoinosotide phosphatase PTEN, we suggest that regulation of UPS by Akt-mediated phosphorylation of USP14 may provide a common mechanism for growth factors to control global proteostasis and for promoting tumorigenesis in PTEN-negative cancer cells."

"Interestingly, Akt was shown to phosphorylate USP14, enhancing its deubiquitinating activity on K48 and K63 ubiquitin linkages, thereby promoting tumor development and cisplatin resistance as well as DSB repair dynamics over regulation of RNF168 mediated ubiquitination [ xref , xref ]."

"Since UPS is critically involved in the degradation of cellular short-lived proteins which frequently serve in mediating intracellular signaling process, the regulation of UPS by Akt-mediated phosphorylation of USP14 may provide a mechanism to control multiple signaling process, raising the possibility that control of short-lived proteins might serve as an active process that has impact on cellular signaling, rather than as a degradative process per se."

"To address this question from the reviewers, we performed glycerol density gradient centrifugation (Koulich et al., 2008) to determine the distribution of free and proteasome-associated phosphorylated USP14 inPten -/- MEFs (with high USP14 S432 phosphorylation) cells lysates ( xref )."

"Indeed, phosphorylation of Usp14 (or the use of a Usp14 phosphomimetic) results in increased activity in assays with the fluorogenic substrate ubiquitin-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Ub-AMC), for both Usp14 in isolation and Usp14 in the proteasome, suggesting that phosphorylation and proteasome binding activate Usp14 via unrelated mechanisms [ xref ]."

"In addition, Ser432 is surrounded by a cluster of highly negatively charged residues, which electrostatically repulse the negatively charged phosphate group of the phosphorylated USP14, thus leading to the rearrangement of the BL2 loop, disturbing the inhibitory effect of BL2 on USP14 ( xref ) ( xref )."
