USP7 cardiomyocyte specific knockout causes disordered mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics and early neonatal lethality in mice
Ubiquitination is an enzymatic modification involving ubiquitin chains, that can be reversed by deubiquitination (DUB) enzymes. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7), which is also known as herpes virus-associated ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP), has been shown to play a vital role in cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanism by which USP7 regulates cardiomyocyte function has not been reported.
