JOSD2 activates KRAS. 3 / 3

reach
"Subsequent in vivo xenografts demonstrated that JOSD2 inhibition dramatically suppressed KRAS-mutant CRC PDXs growth and downregulated intratumor KRAS, p-MEK and p-ERK levels, with inhibition ratio as 73.24% (PDX-1 xenografts) and 81.12% (PDX-2 xenografts) (Fig. 3b–e, Supplementary Fig. 3m and Supplementary Table 2), which is consistent with the results of SW480 and SW620 xenografts.These results collectively demonstrated that JOSD2 plays a crucial role in KRAS-mutant CRC and that targeting JOSD2 significantly suppressed KRAS-mutant CRC growth in vitro and in vivo."

reach
"Correspondingly, depletion of JOSD2, but not JOSD1, significantly downregulated KRAS levels (Fig. 1e and Supplementary Fig. 1b, c), indicating JOSD2 positively regulates KRAS abundance."

reach
"Specifically, when JOSD2 removes the polyubiquitin chains from KRAS, the steric hindrance is reduced, thereby promoting the KRAS-RAF1 interaction, which will be further investigated in our future study.Taken together, these data confirmed that JOSD2 positively regulated KRAS abundance and activity in an enzymatic activity-dependent manner."
