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:
The present invention relates to an siRNA inhibiting expression of the OTUB1 protein and a composition for preventing or treating cancer containing same as an active ingredient. In accordance with the present invention, cancer cell growth can be remarkably inhibited by inhibiting OTUB1 expression using the siRNA of the present invention.
