Abstract:
Provided are a method of analyzing ubiquitin-proteasome activity with respect to a target polypeptide and a method of screening a ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitor. According to the provided methods, the pattern of lysis of a target polypeptide by a ubiquitin-proteasome in target cells may be quantitatively analyzed in a rapid and highly sensitive way, a ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitor may be screened in a rapid and highly sensitive way, and an anticancer agent and the activity thereof may be rapidly screened.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an siRNA that inhibits the expression of USP 15 protein and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same for preventing or treating cancers. According to the present invention, the siRNA of the present invention inhibits the expression of USP 15 protein thereby substantially inhibiting the growth and metastasis of cancer cells.
