摘要

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are a class of crucial peptidyl hydrolases within the ubiquitin system, playing a significant role in reversing and strictly regulating ubiquitination, which is essential for various biological processes such as protein stability and cellular signal transduction. Ubiquitin-specific protease 39 (USP39) is an important member of the DUBs family. Recent studies have revealed that USP39 is involved in the regulation of multiple cellular activities including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair. USP39 also plays a significant role in the development and progression of various cancers. It is believed that USP39 is a unique enzyme that controls the ubiquitin process and is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of many cancers, including hepatocellular, lung, gastric, breast, and ovarian cancer. This review summarizes the structural and functional aspects of USP39 and its research advancements in tumors, investigates the key molecular mechanisms related to USP39, and provides references for tumor diagnosis and treatment.
