"USP8 mutations disrupt the interaction between USP8 and the 14-3-3 protein, thereby allowing USP8 cleavage and increased enzymatic activity ( xref ); this protects EGFR from lysosomal degradation, which leads to increased expression of EGFR ( xref ) ( xref ) and pro-opiomelanocortin ( POMC) ( xref , xref )."

"The USP8-14-3-3 interaction was also confirmed in three other studies: one used tandem affinity purification (TAP) coupled with multidimensional protein identification technology [ xref ]; another used 14-3-3 affinity chromatography with HeLa cell extracts and found that the USP8-14-3-3 interaction appears to occur in a cell-cycle dependent manner [ xref ]; 14-3-3 epsilon, gamma, and zeta were identified as USP8-binding proteins using co-immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometric analysis [ xref ]."

"Surprisingly, when analyzing the impact of P720R and S718del USP8 mutations on USP8 interaction with 14-3-3 proteins, we observed that P720R USP8 mutant was still capable to bind to 14-3-3 proteins, being this data in agreement with results obtained by means of fluorescence polarization assay by the group of Ottmann [ xref ]."

"Moreover, these findings offer valuable insights into the crucial USP8-14-3-3 interaction and might provide a starting point for future structure-based drug discovery studies on its modulation with the aim of targeting and stabilizing this PPI interface as a novel potential therapeutic strategy for CD."
