OTUD7B and non-small cell lung carcinoma: We validated the effects of the OTUD7B inhibitor (7Bi) in reducing Akt-pS473 signals in multiple NSCLC and HEK293 cells by blocking OTUD7B-governed GβL deubiquitination in cells, as well as inhibiting OTUD7B-mediated cleavage of K11-linked di-ub in an in vitro enzyme assay.
