Open AccessA potent small-molecule inhibitor of the DCN1-UBC12 interaction that selectively blocks cullin 3 neddylation
The Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) regulate homeostasis of ~20% of cellular proteins and their activation require neddylation of their cullin subunit. Cullin neddylation is modulated by a scaffolding ...

Skp2–MacroH2A1–CDK8 axis orchestrates G2/M transition and tumorigenesis
Understanding the mechanism by which cell growth, migration, polyploidy, and tumorigenesis are regulated may provide important therapeutic strategies for cancer therapy. Here we identify the Skp2–macroH2A1 (mH...
