Ubiquitination and adaptive responses to BRAF inhibitors in Melanoma.

Response to targeted therapies is limited by the activation or inhibition of feedback loops. Here we report the ubiquitin specific peptidase 28/F-box WD repeat-containing protein 7 (USP28/FBW7) complex functions as a negative regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by targeting v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) for degradation, a process which is lost in a large proportion of BRAF mutant melanoma patients, resulting in resistance to BRAF inhibitor therapies.
