Chimeric deubiquitinase engineering reveals structural basis for specific inhibition of the mitophagy regulator USP30

Covalent Modifiers

Nafizul Haque Kazi, Nikolas Klink, Kai Gallant, Gian-Marvin Kipka & Malte Gersch Nat Struct Mol Biol , 2025 [link] The mitochondrial deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) 30 negatively regulates PINK1parkin-driven mitophagy. However, the molecular basis for specific inhibition of USP30 by small molecules has remained elusive.
