DUBs regulate Aβ

   

 USP8

Upregulated

Reduces K501 ubiquitination of BACE1

[35]

 USP25

Upregulated

Rescues the degradation of APP

[42]

 USP46

Downregulated

Reverses Aβ-dependent AMPAR ubiquitination

[34, 45]

DUBs regulate Tau

   

 USP9 X

Upregulated

Regulates of phosphorylation and expression of Tau

[24, 25]

 USP9 Y

Downregulated

 OTUB1

Upregulated

Removes the K48 polyubiquitin chain from Tau

[26]

 USP14

Upregulated

Inhibits the degradation of Tau by 26S proteasome

[56, 58]

 USP10

Upregulated

Binds and deubiquitinates Tau

[61]

 USP11

Upregulated

Deubiquitinates Tau at K281

[63]

DUBs regulate Aβ and Tau

 UCH-L1/3/5

Downregulated

Controls the degradation of APP, BACE1, and Tau

[67, 68, 71]

 USP13

Upregulated

Deubiquitinates parkin and Tau

[87, 89, 157]
