This study identifies molecular mechanisms by which USP48 mutations in Cushing's disease enhance enzyme activity through structural changes in the catalytic domain and C-terminal region.

This study identifies a mechanism by which Gag ubiquitination enhances ALIX-mediated vRNA packaging in lentiviral assembly, counteracted by USP8 deubiquitination.

This study identifies the CNH domain of NRK as a key mediator of cell death by localizing to the plasma membrane via phospholipid binding.

The paper identifies evolutionary changes in NRK that enable regulation of the CK2-PTEN-AKT pathway and placental cell proliferation in placental mammals.
