USP25 activates KRAS. 6 / 6
| 6

reach
"Importantly, knockout (KO) of USP25 effectively suppresses tumor growth and RAS signaling in KRAS muts -driven autochthonous NSCLC mouse models and xenograft models, which is restored by additional deletion or inhibition of RNF31."

reach
"Indeed, USP21 expression restored macropinocytosis in Kras*-extinguished cells, and macropinocytosis inhibitors thwarted USP21-induced Kras* escape.Finally, to identify the direct target of USP21 activity, the investigators used the protein as bait to capture a single interacting culprit: MARK3, a microtubule-binding kinase and regulator of microtubule dynamics (Sandí et al. 2017)."

reach
"The deubiquitinase USP21 has been shown to promote KRAS∗-independent tumour growth by driving MARK3-dependent MP, which in turn maintains intracellular amino acid levels and activates mTORC1."

reach
"The USP21-mediated KRAS* bypass, coupled with the frequent amplification of USP21 in human PDAC tumors, encourages the assessment of USP21 as a novel drug target as well as a potential parameter that may affect responsiveness to emergent anti-KRAS* therapy."

reach
"Using the inducible Kras /Trp53 PDAC mouse model, the same group subsequently identified that USP21 supported the growth of oncogenic KRAS-independent PDAC by elevating MARK3-mediated macropinocytosis (Hou et al., 2021)."
