"However, later work has shown that ubiquitin overexpression does not correct the ax J deficits in hippocampal short term plasticity, and that transgenic expression of a catalytically inactive form of USP14 in the nervous system mimics the neuromuscular phenotype observed in the ax J mice, but causes a only a modest reduction of free ubiquitin."

"The degradation of Ub itself is closely related to the activities of DUBs associated with the proteasome since the loss of USP14 (or Ubp6 in yeast) or UCH37 has been shown to trigger degradation of Ub along with its target substrates, leading to depletion of the free Ub pool XREF_BIBR - XREF_BIBR."
reach
"By contrast, USP14 and UCHL5 are located further from the 20S core and antagonize degradation by removing Ub in a stepwise manner from the distal end, promoting substrate dissociation from the proteasome 17.The human genome encodes for approximately 90 DUBs, which fall into six classes 18, 19."
reach
"Toward the identification of small-molecule stimulators of the ubiquitin-proteasome system to enhance the clearance of deleterious proteins, the discovery that a proteasome associated deubiquitinating enzyme, USP14, inhibits proteasomal degradation of proteins by trimming off ubiquitin chains inspired a high-throughput screen to find inhibitors of USP14 activity [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Studies have shown that the binding of either full-length USP14 or its UBL domain alone represses multiple proteasomal activities through its DUB activity in an allosteric mechanism, whereas USP14 promotes the proteasomal degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated substrates once bound to a ubiquitin chain (Crosas et al., 2006; Hanna et al., 2006; Kim and Goldberg, 2017; Kim and Goldberg, 2018b)."
