Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are emerging as important regulators of many pathways germane to cancer. They may regulate the stability of key oncogenes, exemplified by USP28 stabilisation of c-Myc. Alternatively they can negatively regulate ubiquitin-dependent signalling cascades such as the NF-kappa B activation pathway. We review the current literature that associates DUBs with cancer and discuss their suitability as drug targets of the future. (C) 2009 IUBMB IUBMB Life, 62(2): 140-157, 2010
