The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is responsible for most selective protein
degradation in eukaryotes and regulates numerous cellular processes, including cell cycle
control and protein quality control. A component of this system, the deubiquitinating enzyme
USP14, associates with the proteasome where it can rescue substrates from degradation by
removal of the ubiquitin tag. We previously found that a small-molecule inhibitor of USP14,
known as IU1, can increase the rate of degradation of a subset of proteasome substrates …
