"Although pharmacological inhibitors of USP14's ubiquitin-hydrolase activity reduced microtubule associate protein tau, tar DNA binding protein, and prion protein in culture, the effect was similar in wild type and USP14-deficient neurons, thus impacting their use for specifically evaluating USP14 in a therapeutic manner."

"USP14 negatively regulates prion protein degradation."

reach
"Results demonstrated that an inhibitor of USP14 reduced PrP C in mouse neuroblastoma cells, as well as PrP Sc, indicating that USP14 negatively regulates degradation of prion protein."

reach
"Based on our results, we propose a model that shows that USP14 rescues prion protein from proteasomal degradation."

reach
"In summary, our findings demonstrated a novel mechanism by which USP14 negatively regulated prion protein degradation via the proteasome, although the detailed mechanism remains unclear."
