"To ensure that the ability of OTUB2-IN-1 to reduce PD-L1 expression was due to the impaired deubiquitinase activity of OTUB2 rather than the impaired binding of OTUB2 to PD-L1, we further verified the ability of OTUB2-IN-1 to block the binding of OTUB2 to PD-L1 using a blocking chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and a co-IP assay."

"Compound 61 (also named OTUB1/USP8-IN-1), a dual OTUB1/USP8 inhibitor, effectively attenuates the growth of NSCLC cell lines in vivo . xref Unlike for OTUB1, specific inhibitors for OTUB2 have emerged that directly target PD-L1 to overcome tumor immune evasion by enhancing T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. xref The OTUB2-IN-1 was developed based on the OTUB2 binding pocket structure, reducing PD-L1 protein levels by inhibiting OTUB2’s catalytic activity (rather than blocking the OTUB2-PD-L1 interaction) and suppressing tumor growth. xref In parallel, an improved covalent inhibitor, LN5P45, has been developed for OTUB2, demonstrating excellent cellular target engagement and proteome-wide selectivity. xref These findings collectively validate OTUB2 as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy and provide valuable chemical tools for probing its biology."

"To further explore the cellular location at which OTUB2 prevents the proteasomal degradation of PD-L1, we performed immunofluorescence (IF) following Duolink in situ PLAs using antibodies targeting different organelles to confirm the subcellular location of the OTUB2–PD-L1 interaction."
