"This interaction appears to be direct since purified Flag-VPRBP binds a purified GST-USP2 fusion protein but not GST alone (Fig. 5d)."

reach
"Collectively, these results indicate that USP2 binds, deubiquitinates, and thereby stabilizes VPRBP in vivo (Supplementary Fig. 1)."

"Interestingly, we found that the USP2-VPRBP axis modulates PD-L1 expression in a p53-independent manner through two distinct mechanisms (Supplementary Fig.  xref )."

reach
"Here we show that VPRBP levels are tightly controlled by USP2, a deubiquitinase that binds and stabilizes VPRBP, and that loss of USP2 function can activate p53 responses, including its tumor suppressive effects."

"Interestingly, the USP2-VPRBP axis also regulates PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) expression."

sparser
"As both mechanisms serve to reduce PD-L1 levels (Supplementary Fig.  xref ), the USP2-VPRBP axis should suppress PD-L1-mediated immune evasion and thereby enhance tumor immunosurveillance."

"Nevertheless, the USP2-VPRBP axis is able to target both PD-L1 and p53 simultaneously."

sparser
"To further validate this interaction, we first examined whether USP2 interacts with VPRBP in the cells through co-transfection."

sparser
"In this study, we identified the USP2-VPRBP axis as a pathway by which p53 function is regulated in tumor cells."

"Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation analysis of human melanoma A375 cell extracts indicate that endogenous VPRBP and USP2 proteins interact in vivo (Fig.  xref )."
