The ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) USP9X is a human deubiquitinase (DUB) with a large number of described targets and cellular roles. In cancer, USP9X is found as an oncogene or as a tumour suppressor depending on context, and its utility as a target for cancer therapy remains unclear. We here describe WEHI-092, a piperazine-based USP9X-specific small-molecule inhibitor, which binds to a unique region in the USP9X Fingers-subdomain, distinct from known DUB-inhibitor binding sites. Using prote ...[more]
