- The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) regulates protein homeostasis through ubiquitin-mediated processes.
- UPS controls key cell cycle regulators like cyclins, CDK inhibitors, and checkpoint proteins.
- E3 ubiquitin ligases, such as APC/C and SCF complexes, ensure timely degradation for proper cell cycle transitions.
- UPS dysregulation contributes to diseases like cancer via aberrant stabilization or premature degradation of regulators.
- The review covers UPS mechanisms, key enzymes, and therapeutic potential in cell cycle-associated disorders.
