USP10: friend and foe

Cell. 2010 Feb 5;140(3):308-10. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2010.01.034.

Abstract

The tumor suppressor protein p53, a crucial player in the DNA damage response, is regulated in many ways, most notably through ubiquitination. In this issue, Yuan et al. (2010) identify the deubiquitinating protease USP10 as a new regulator of p53 in the DNA damage response and tumor development.
