"This newly identified catalytic site can serve as a potential target for developing inhibitors against JOSD2 catalytic activity.In attempts to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of tumor-promoting effect of JOSD2, we found that overexpression of JOSD2 removes K6-linked polyubiquitination of LKB1, and the deubiquitination of K6 linkage of LKB1 leads to disruption of LKB1/STRAD/MO25 complex integrity, thus inhibits kinase activity of LKB1 and downstream AMPK signaling pathway, so as to induce cell proliferation."

"Nonetheless, in LKB1-null cells, silencing JOSD2 still exhibited a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation, suggesting that other protein substrates in addition to LKB1, might also be involved in JOSD2-driven NSCLC proliferation and cannot be excluded.To further demonstrate that the tumor-promoting effect of JOSD2 depends on LKB1, LKB1-WT and LKB1-3KR were introduced to LKB-null NCI-H460 cells."
