Abstract excerpt
The increased stability of mutant p53 (Mutp53) plays a crucial role in its gain of function, making proteins involved in its stabilization promising targets for drug intervention. Although curcumin is known to exhibit anti-cancer effects, its role as a deubiquitinase (DUB) inhibitor in Mutp53 destabilization remains poorly explored. Our study demonstrates that curcumin treatment induced ubiquitination and...
