27 results about "Deubiquitinating enzyme" patented technology

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), also known as deubiquitinating peptidases, deubiquitinating isopeptidases, deubiquitinases, ubiquitin proteases, ubiquitin hydrolases, ubiquitin isopeptidases, are a large group of proteases that cleave ubiquitin from proteins and other molecules. Ubiquitin is attached to proteins in order to regulate the degradation of proteins via the proteasome and lysosome; coordinate the cellular localisation of proteins; activate and inactivate proteins; and modulate protein-protein interactions. DUBs can reverse these effects by cleaving the peptide or isopeptide bond between ubiquitin and its substrate protein. In humans there are nearly 100 DUB genes, which can be classified into two main classes: cysteine proteases and metalloproteases. The cysteine proteases comprise ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs), Machado-Josephin domain proteases (MJDs) and ovarian tumour proteases (OTU). The metalloprotease group contains only the Jab1/Mov34/Mpr1 Pad1 N-terminal+ (MPN+) (JAMM) domain proteases.

Application of targeted JOSD1 inhibitor in preparation of tumor treatment medicine

PendingCN121622902AOrganic active ingredientsAntibody ingredientsDeubiquitinating enzymeCD8
The invention belongs to the field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to application of a targeted JOSD1 inhibitor in preparation of tumor treatment drugs. Researches find that deubiquitinating enzyme JOSD1 is highly expressed in HCC and is closely related to poor prognosis of a patient. The JOSD1 stabilizes PGAM1 protein on a key lysine site by regulating ubiquitination-lactic acid post-modification (PTM) interaction of a glycolysis key enzyme PGAM1, enhances the enzymatic activity and lactic acid generation of the PGAM1 protein, and promotes glycolysis metabolism and malignant progression of tumor cells. The accumulation of lactic acid causes infiltration and function inhibition of CD8T cells, so that an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment is formed. Targeted inhibition of JOSD1 can significantly reduce the proliferation and transfer ability of HCC cells and recover immune response. Animal experiments show that the liver-specific JOSD1 inhibitor can effectively inhibit tumor progression and has a remarkable synergistic effect with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, and the lifetime is prolonged.
