Structural basis for specific inhibition of the deubiquitinase UCHL1

The deubiquitinase UCHL1 has been linked to cancer invasiveness and neurodegeneration yet its molecular roles have remained poorly defined. Here the authors reveal the structural basis for how UCHL1 can be specifically inhibited and how chemogenomic probes can be used to dissect its functions in liv...

description The deubiquitinase UCHL1 has been linked to cancer invasiveness and neurodegeneration yet its molecular roles have remained poorly defined. Here the authors reveal the structural basis for how UCHL1 can be specifically inhibited and how chemogenomic probes can be used to dissect its functions in living cells.
