"They found that elevated postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels activate mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1), which stabilizes HMGCR (3-hydroxy-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase), phosphorylates USP20 (ubiquitin-specific peptidase 20), and upregulates cholesterol biosynthesis."

"To discern whether USP20 Ser333 phosphorylation could be relevant in human atherosclerosis, we used IgG specific for phospho-USP20(Ser333) ( xref ) to immunostain atherosclerotic human arteries obtained from legs that had been amputated because of arterial insufficiency ( xref )."

"Considered together, all these data indicate that there was a chronic activity of p -mTOR and higher HMGCR deubiquitination activity by phosphorylating USP20 in hyperlipidemic rats on an HFD diet, increasing cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver, and inducing higher lipid levels in both liver and serum."

"Liver and adipose tissues were assessed histologically, and body and liver weight, serum and liver lipid levels, expression of mTOR/ubiquitin-specific peptidase 20 (USP20)/recombinant 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), and phosphorylation of mTOR and USP20 were measured."

"As shown in xref E–G, the levels of HMGCR, phosphorylated USP20 ( p -USP20), and p -mTOR were highly elevated in HFD-fed rats compared with those on a normal diet (P < 0.01), and EA treatment markedly alleviated these chronic activities on p -mTOR (P < 0.05) and p -USP20 (P < 0.05) and decreased HMGCR (P < 0.01)."

"The DNA-damage response induced by prolonged UV exposure or hydroxyurea treatment activates ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM and Rad3 related (ATR) kinases, leading to phosphorylation of USP20 at four potential SQ/TQ motifs in hUSP20: T170Q, T232Q, S305Q and S662Q ( xref )."

"As shown in Figure xref and Supplementary Figure S4C, ATR depletion compromised USP20 phosphorylation at the SQ/TQ motifs and resulted in USP20 downregulation, suggesting that ATR is the major kinase responsible for USP20 phosphorylation and upregulation following replication stress."

"Moreover, ubiquitin specific peptidase 20 (USP20) improved FTO level through inhibiting FTO degradation while PDIA3 increased FTO level by enhancing USP20 phosphorylation during osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting a positive feedback regulatory loop between PDIA3 and FTO."
