摘要
Ubiquitination regulates gene expression post-translationally through the well-characterized ubiquitin system, which has been clearly established to have important functions in the regulation of many intracellular biological activities. Being obligate intracellular microbes, viruses inevitably co-opt this conserved host cytosolic machinery to accomplish their own life cycle, from entry into host cells to the release of progeny viral particles. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) remove ubiquitins from target proteins to reverse the modification of ubiquitination, and thusly affect a great number of signaling pathways, as well as viral infections. This review presents what is known about how viruses bypass or employ DUBs to evade host immune defenses and discusses new therapeutic strategies targeting DUBs for diseases treatment.
