"Additionally, the structural characterization of the UFL1-BAP1 complex will be instrumental in guiding such efforts and may uncover specific binding pockets or allosteric sites that could be targeted to modulate this interaction with higher specificity."

"Considering the frequent mutations and deletions of the TP53 gene in human cancers, the stabilization of pVHL by the UFL1-BAP1 axis might be particularly important in cancer cells harboring TP53 mutant or loss, such as CRC cells (SW620 and HCT116 with p53 KO) and pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1) (fig."

"However, several features of the BAP1-UFL1 interaction identified in our study offer pathways to address specificity."

"Second, a more selective strategy may involve enhancing the specific interaction between UFL1 and BAP1."

"For instance, high-throughput screening of Food and Drug Administration–approved drugs or other chemical libraries could identify small molecules that promote the UFL1-BAP1 interaction, thereby selectively enhancing BAP1 UFMylation."
