USP5-Beclin 1 axis overrides p53-dependent senescence and drives Kras-induced tumorigenicity

Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) occurs in premalignant lung adenomas, but infrequently in malignant adenocarcinomas. Here the authors show that USP5-Beclin 1 axis overcomes OIS in Kras-driven lung cancer by enhancing MDM2-mediated p53 degradation.
